Choose your unit system

You can specify your preferred display unit system for use in MI Materials Gateway. This controls how data is displayed within MI Materials Gateway - for example, in datasheets and when specifying search criteria.

Note: This setting does not affect:
  • The materials data that is imported into your CAE application. The units used to generate CAE material models are pre-defined in the model definition, and cannot be changed using this setting. For more details, see CAE material models.
  • The data that is assigned to parts or bodies.

The choice available to you depends on the unit systems that are defined for the databases on your Granta MI server. You can choose from any unit system that is available in all databases on your server. For more information, see your MI Materials Gateway administrator.

To change your unit system:
  1. In the Navigation bar, click Settings and then Preferences.
  2. In the Unit system list, select your preferred unit system.
