What is the unit of Specific Heat Capacity in mm-t-s system?

I am defining the material using Law73 card. I am using mm-t-s unit system.

I have given Specific Heat Capacity in J/(kg K) units. If I change the unit to mm-t-s system it should be multiplied by a factor of 10^6 which seems really off comparing the data from tutorials.

    Yes, that's right I think, if you have a J/(kg K) then you would multiply by 1e6 to get it in T mm s system

    J is equivalent to Nm and you have Nmm (or mJ)

    So your capacity is in mJ/(Tonne K) (factor of 1e6 greater than J/(kg K)
