measurement units

[lorenzino]

Hello, is it possible to use european measurement units (metre, Pascal, Newton...) in OpenSees? I mean, can I just use them in the mean file (the file in which I define the geometry and materials properties) and run it or should I change some settings also in the other files (dispControl file, gravity file, LibAnalysisStaticParameters and LibGeneratePeaks)?

Thanks

There are no default units in OpenSees. You can use any set of units as long as they are consistent.

Please follow some of the examples below as reference to the use of units
