Mix-matched units in Parameters using exponets

Anonymous
Not applicable

Can someone help with this equation please. I am having trouble with mix matched units.

 

( ( ( 0.5 ul ) ^ ( MD * PI ) ) ^ 0.5 ul + ( PIPEOD ) ^ 0.5 ul ) * d17

 

d17        is unitless

 

PIPEOD   is inches

 

MD         is inches

 

Thank you for your help.

This should be usable:

 

isolate(Width;mm;ul)

 

Isolate(yourfunction;currentunit;expectedunit)

 

Edit:

 

Actually not sure if it works with an entire function, but then you can isolate the parameters separately

Are you sure this equation is correct?  Written out in mathematical notation, it looks like this:

I can't make any sense of the units from this, so it's not too surprising that Inventor's math engine can't either.  What are you trying to calculate?

Thank you guys. Yes i wrote the equation wrong. It was late in the evening when was doing this. Thank you for answering and your input. I wrote it over after reading your post. 

 

 

((((MD*PI)^(2 ul))+(PIPEOD^(2 ul)))^(0.5 ul))*TIGHTLOOPS

 

MD is in inches

 

pipeod is in inches

 

tightloops is unitless
