Default units

hclcruz

Hi,
Is there a way of changing the default units.

In the table and force i keep getting micro newtons as default

Not directly but you can make a defacto template file which is a model containing an unused material or load that has some data using the units you prefer. Then when you start a model, start from that file and it'll have set the default units for subsequent loads/etc.

The way default units work is it tries to suggest units that either you've already used in the same model/session or that form a coherent system with what you've already used. So if you use mm and Pa, then try to add a force, it may default to micronewton. If you use mm and MPa then add a force it's more likely to default to newton. Either way, after you use any force unit somewhere, it should stick to that same unit as the default for subsequent loads.
