6.3. Restrictions on Units

The following units are not converted when the system of units is changed:

  • mesh units

  • parameters of boundary condition laws

  • parameters for evolution or time-marching schemes

  • parameters that depend on field variables

  • user-defined functions (Also, UDFs must be written in a system of units that is consistent with the rest of the problem definition, as any other material law.)

  • initial thickness (for film casting or blow molding)

  • initial temperature (for nonisothermal simulations)

  • initial concentration (for species transport)

  • material data for mass transfer sub-tasks
