14.2.3. Dimensionless Independent and Dependent Variables

You can create tables of dimensionless numeric data for use with the *DIM command in Mechanical APDL scripts (which can be run via Commands (APDL) worksheets).

Tables of dimensionless variables have the following requirements and limitations:

  • Must contain at least one dimensionless independent variable. The maximum number of dimensionless independent variables is five.

  • Must contain one dimensionless dependent variable.

  • Units do not need to be specified.

  • Cannot contain other types of independent and dependent variables.
