    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?

    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.
