Thread: Abaqus default units

  1. #1

    Abaqus default units

    Hello,
    What are default units in Abaqus, mm, m, cm....?
    How can I change them within Abaqus, and with that I don't mean input file?
    Best regards

    Abaqus does not use units. You have to make sure yourself that all values are consistent.

    ANSYS Workbench on the other had uses units, and I actually like that better.

    Thanks.
    Just mo make sure, if I put in in material section for elastic modulus 30000, thinking in kPa, I should also put, cohesion i cap plasticity i kPa?
    Thanks

    Yes, that is right.

    One experience for solving this problem is: Before making model you should write down input data you're going to use (dimensions, material properties, coefficients....) and make sure they're consistent with others (Like Jorgen said). Then you can use that set of input data confidently ^ ^. Hope it works ^^
