About Units
When designing a model in
Creo Parametric, you can select a system of units from among the standard systems of units provided or you can create and select your own system of units. The system of units that you select is called the principal system of units for that model. If you do not select a system of units, the
Creo Parametric default system of
inch pound-mass second is the principal system of units. You can change the default principal system of units using the
PRO_UNIT_SYSconfiguration option.
By default Creo Simulate uses the principal system of units for all simulation entities. As you build your model in Creo Simulate, you can assign units for different simulation entities. Creo Simulate also allows you to specify units for result quantities for an analysis.
To learn more about units refer to the following references:
• Unit conversion tables and other units tables—See
Unit Conversion Tables. The
Creo Parametric default, inch pound-mass second (inch lbm second), is not a standard system of units, and thus is not described in the tables.
