Hello everyone, I am new to structural analysis solver. I would to ask, what is the value box for at this constraint panel? what is the unit for the value? thanks in advance!

The textbox near the DOFs are used to apply enforced displacemente values, used in Non-Linear Analysis. Check out this video where the user sets up an Enforced Displacement:
Also, for further clarification, you could refer to the panel help, by clicking F1 when the Constraints panel is selected. Here's the link to that page: https://2020.help.altair.com/2020/hwdesktop/hwx/topics/panels/help043.htm Hope it helped!
Hi /profile/93011-lfss/?do=hovercard' data-mentionid='93011' href='<___base_url___>/profile/93011-lfss/' rel=''>@LFSS, Thanks for the info. That means, the unit will be in meter/mm/etc(distance) right? thanks for the helps.

Most FEA solvers are unitless, therefore it is the user's responsibility to follow a consistent set of units:
The DOFs 1-3 are displacements and the DOFs 3-6 are rotations (units are radians).
Thanks for the table /profile/44175-simon-kri%C5%BEnik/?do=hovercard' data-mentionid='44175' href='<___base_url___>/profile/44175-simon-kri%C5%BEnik/' rel=''>@Simon Križnik
Actually, you can use what you want (mm, m,cm, etc.). Just you have to keep one thing in your mind : UNIT CONSISTENCY.
