I am so confused about "lbmass" as units...
I know that: weight (the force on an object due to gravity) is measured in pounds "lbs" (the same units used to measure any other force quantity), and that mass (the amount of matter) is measured in "slugs".
Looking at the comment section I see people saying that "lbmass" is the equivalent to weight and therefore could be replaced by pounds "lbs". But looking at the iProperties > Physical tab in Inventor, I see that mass (not weight) is associated with the units "lb mass".
So which is it? Is "lbmass" a force or a mass unit ???
