SimulationUnits

Declaration of the simulation units.

A consistent set of units should be used throughout the simulation inputs. All inputs including coordinates, material properties and boundaries conditions should be defined in this system.

For example, the SI system of meters, kilograms, seconds and Kelvin.

Declaration of units is used for determining physical constants, but is otherwise only informational.

Currently, declaration of units is only required for:

radiation boundary conditions

Fields

length_unit: LengthUnit, default = Undefined

Length units used in simulation inputs
mass_unit: MassUnit, default = Undefined

Mass units used in simulation inputs
temperature_unit: TemperatureUnit, default = Undefined

Temperature units used in simulation inputs
time_unit: TimeUnit, default = Undefined

Time units used in simulation inputs
energy_unit: EnergyUnit, default = Undefined

Energy units used in simulation inputs
power_unit: PowerUnit, default = Undefined

Power units used in simulation inputs (this option is provided as a shortcut, but needs to be consistent with other units if entered)
