4.11. Define the Units for Simulation

Because you will view the results of this problem in CFD-Post, you need to specify the units used in the simulation. The default unit is metric_MKSA+Kelvin. The procedure to set the units is as follows:

  1. Select Outputs from the top-level Ansys Polydata menu.

    Note that output for CFD-Post is already enabled by default, as indicated in the description of the Current output(s) at the top of the Outputs menu that opens.

  2. Click Set units for CFD-Post, Ansys Mapper or Iges.

      Set units for CFD-Post, Ansys Mapper or Iges

    This will open the Change System of Units for specific outputs menu.

  3. Click Modify system of Units.

  4. Click Set to metric_cm/g/s/A+Celsius.

      Set to metric_cm/g/s/A+Celsius

  5. Click Upper level menu option three times to return to the top-level menu.
