Micro-scale unit in Abaqus.
Hi everyone, I am working on micro-scale simulations, the length of the model is micrometers.
So, some information is provided on the internet, but some part is different.
I was wondering about the whole unit system of the micro-scale in Abaqus, is these units right?
Length -- μm
Force -- μN
Time -- μs
Mass -- ng
Density - KTon/m^3
Pressure/Stress/Elastic modulus -- MPa
Energy -- pJ
Specific heat, Thermal conductivity, CTE, are the same as meter's unit system
Thank you so much for your help in advance.
Hi.
Abaqus assumes you use consistent units. It does not matter which units you use, as long as they match with each other. So it is up to you. Based on the minimum size of your element you can choose.
Hi Jiayu Sun,
I think the units are right. If you chose the first three quantities as basic, the rest of quantities must be measured in the units you have presented.
