Issues with unit conversion

shaun.bailey791 — Thu, 18 Feb 2021 06:03:29 GMT

Hi,

I am making a parametric part that calculates some dimensions based on parameters that are in newtons (N) it is essentially a fully stressed beam. It seems that fusion wont allow me to use the force parameter to calculate the distance?

R1 is my reaction force in N

the equation i am trying to use is:

=(300*R1)/83.33E+3

I have also tried

=((300*R1)/83.33E+3) * 1mm

Any help is greatly appreciated

I could just put it in as a distance parameter and note it in the comments but that feels wrong

Is R1 a parameter? It it is you need to cancel its units. Something like (300*R1/N).
