CAD Model Units

CAD Model Units

Hello,

 

It has come to my attention that the unit profile "CAD Model" only grabs the "length" unit from the Inventor Document Settings. I believe it would be a good idea to have this take the other units as well such as: mass, angle, and time. Currently, I am having to convert all of my concentrated masses from grams to tonnes which is a high source of human error. This change will provide consistent units between the FEA model and the CAD model as well as less unit conversion done by the user.

 

Regards,

I had similar problems! Totally agree, Nastran In-CAD must retrieve all the measurements unit from CAD, when user selects this option.

Indeed !

I need Length in mm , mass in kg, time in second, force in Newton, temperature in K(orC) and angle in degree.

Please!

Come one guys...it's like the most basic thing. And the discrepancy is not even shown anywhere unless you specifically check the analysis options.
