Units > Force unit
Selection of the force unit used in the GUI and in output listings.
The desired force unit can be selected from the list of available units. The list contains in principle units derived from SI-units (N, kN, MN, ton) and customary US units (pound, kip). The shown factor defines the ratio to the standard unit [m].
Furthermore the user can input an arbitrary user-defined unit by entering the name and respective factor.
Note: The force unit ton defines the weight force of a mass of 1 ton under standard earth acceleration conditions (gn = 9.80665 m/s2). The definition of mass units is not provided in RmBridge. Mass units are always recalculated from forces with using the earth acceleration defined in the Recalc pad (default value 9.81 m/s2).
