Hi All

In Tutorial HS-1070 the material density is in SI unit ( 7820 kg/m3) and the parameter format is %8.3f

What if I am using MPA unit (e.g. 7.85E-09 t/mm3)? It is written as 7.85-9 in *.fem / *.tpl file and recognized it as string. What should I do to make it as real / continuous value?

 

Regards,

SUFFIAN.

    I put an e before the sign before parameterizing the value. Make sure to adjust the columns by deleting a space after the value if you choose to do this workaround.
