Units for RADIOSS? [SOLVED]

Altair Forum User

I believe that HyperMesh is unitless, but is this the same for RADIOSS as well?

If we just keep the same unit for everything then we can simulate in SI or British system, right?

Hi,

Please find the attached image for the unit system.

There is no specific unit system for RADIOSS. The user has to maintain the consistency in the inputs provided.

The standard unit consistency maintained is shown in the image above

George, I understand that RADIOSS is unitless.

We can use the British or any other system of units, just that we have to be consistent with it.

It is not compulsory to stick with SI system.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Bongirs,

 

Not necessarily. I think in HyperCrash you can add a unit system. Can you please check?

Altair Forum User

Prakash, I meant that I am using HyperMesh with RADIOSS. So there is no compulsion of using the SI system as the documentation suggests. I see that we have to select the unit system for HyperCrash. But for HyperMesh there is no such compulsion. Correct me if I am wrong.

Is this an error?
