What are the default units used in Ansys APDL?

Note that the SI system is “newer” than the MKS system, with some differences in electronic units. Table 146: *GET General Items, Entity = ACTIVE The *GET command supports identification of the /UNITS setting employed: UNITS, Label, LENFACT, MASSFACT, TIMEFACT, TEMPFACT, TOFFSET, CHARGEFACT, FORCEFACT, HEATFACTĪnnotates the database with the system of units used. Note that /UNITS is merely a recording device. Users are advised to check the Commands Manual for the /UNITS command. Workbench Mechanical has several systems of units for a user to choose. The check could be included at the beginning of any APDL Commands Object in Workbench that assumes the UNITS employed in a SOLVE. This article illustrates how to use APDL commands to detect the UNITS that are active when SOLVE is requested for an environment in Workbench Mechanical. Industrial Equipment and Rotating MachineryĪnsys Workbench Mechanical supports the presence of APDL commands in the Outline so that user-programmed commands will act on a model at the Body, Connection, Solver or Postprocessing stage of an Ansys job running from the ds.dat file generated by the Mechanical SOLVE command.Torsional Vibration Measurements Testing.Fluid Flow & Thermal Applications (CFD).Electronic and Electrical Applications (EM).
