Analysis values based on what scale

Altair Forum User

Hai,

I am having a doubt of the values gettig in the result, I have attached a Displacemant contour plot image. The minimum to maximum values are based on what scale. How can we understand the values practically? Let me know

Hi @Dani,

The results scale/units completely depends on the input system you have provided during modelling.

If you given units are in mm, MG, S then the output units will be mm, N/mm2, etc...

Input value given Force of 350 Kg in N=3432.327.So these displacement values are in meter or in millimeter?

Regards,

Dani

Dani,

Basically HyperMesh is unitless. You need to maintain a unit consistency. If the given length, breadth, width is in mm, then your displacement results are in mm. If they are in meters your displacement results should be in meters.
