System of unit in abaqus

Submitted by m_meisam on

Dear guys!

I've a qustion about system of units in abaqus!

I thought that the system of units in a model must be the same but in abaqus example "stiffened plate under the blast load" in define the material the density defined in "kg/m^3" but other properties defined in "Pa"!

Is that true? if yes why?

Regards

The basic units would be Kg, m, sec  in this unit system.

Newton and Pa are not basic unit:

N=Kg*m/s**2;

Pa=N/m**2,

So they are consistant with this system.
