    hi,

     

    there's no such option in HyperView. HV assumes the units is known from the solver. So you need to check what are the units used by your model, and interpret the results accordingly.

    If you input model is N, mm, your stress is MPa. And so on.

    a Sir so the think like I wanted to know was like when I took the ouput notepad file of the analysis i swa unit system like kg mm s. So I think that would maybe like kind of irrelavant right?'

    So basically if I want to run an analysis I just have to enter values according to a unit systme of my like right and follow it other units according to the consistent unit system right

    Correct. Use a consistent unit system and you will get results accordingly.
