19. Units What units does ABAQUS use? ABAQUS has no inherent set of units.
How do I set the units in ABAQUS? You cannot.
It is the User’s responsibility to use a consistent set of units.
Choose the units for Length and Force
If the analysis is time dependent then select the unit for Time.
Example : Length – m Structural
: Force - N Analysis
: Time - Sec
Then the units for all the other quantities are derived from it.
Modulus, stress – Pascals
Density kg/m3

21. Example : Cantilever - Plate
