Unit System

The unit system in AVEVA Marine might differ from that one used to run FE analyzes for example, due to classification societies' requirements. In this case key points and properties have to be converted to the new unit system before they are exported to for example, an APDL file.

Set up conversion factors

• Click the Unit System... button.

  A dialog will be opened in which you can set-up the conversion factors. The conversion factors are stored together with the idealized block. They will be exported to the APDL file to let the user know in which unit system the input data was created. No further conversion is done in ANSYS itself.
