19. Units
• What units does ABAQUS use? ABAQUS has no inherent set of units.
• How do I set the units in ABAQUS? You cannot.
• It is the User’s responsibility to use a consistent set of units.
• Choose the units for Length and Force
• If the analysis is time dependent then select the unit for Time.
• Example : Length – m Structural
• : Force - N Analysis
• : Time - Sec
Then the units for all the other quantities are derived from it.
• Modulus, stress – Pascals
• Density - kg/m3
Outline of the Model Data : Any line starting withr an asterisk (*) I a key word. Any lin startimg with ** is a commnty line and if ignored by ABAQUS.The firtdt keyword is the Heading.
