Moment units in hyperworks

Altair Forum User

so since Hyperworks works in N,mm,MPa, do i consider N*mm as units for moment load?

Hypermesh in non-dimensional. It is up to the user to use consistent units and convert values accordingly at each instance.

 

Yes, when using N,mm,MPa, use N*mm as units for moment

Hypermesh is Non-Dimensional but for our ease by default one can keep Force in N, Displacement in mm,Time in S and Mass in Tonne..... U can see that while assigning the materials the unit of density will be in tonne/mm3 by default i.e by default when we click for the density in the material collector  it displays density of steel as 7.9e-9 which is conversion of density of steel 7900 kg/m3  to 7.9e-9 tonne/mm3

1 kilogram / cubic meter =

1.0 × 10^-12 tonne / cubic millimeter......

 

And for your purpose keeping Moment in N*mm will be right if u follow the above unit system.
