Actran's default unit system

Praveen Jayasheela
Praveen Jayasheela over 1 year ago

The default unit system in Actran and Actran DGM is the SI (MKSA) system: meter [m], kilogram [kg], second [s], kelvin [K], and ampere [A].

This applies to all quantities unless otherwise specified in the PARAMETER data block of your input file. You can change the unit system at the analysis, topology, material, or table level, but SI is always the default unless explicitly set otherwise.
