    It depends on what unit system you are following. Its reciprocal of stiffness.

    Hi @Meshing

     

    Compliance is considered as reciprocal of Stiffness, provided applied force is constant.

     

    In theory, C= f^2/2K, where f(say, N) is the force and K(N/mm) is the stiffness. So this makes N-mm,.. as compliance unit.
