Problems with units with regarding nanoindentation.
Problems with units with regarding nanoindentation.
(OP)
Hello!
I'm not quite sure how Abaqus handles different units.
I have a rectangle, 5 X 10 micrometers each distance. I modeled it 5 X 10, shouldn't that be ok?
My material has a youngs modulus of 14.8 GPa end yield strength of 121 MPa. Since I am operating with micrometers, do I have to convert it from N/mm^2 to N/um^2 ? In that case, I entered
0.0148 and 0.000121 for youngs modulus and yield strength, respectively.
For the load, which is 1 uN, I entered 1*10*-6 N.
This does not give me the expected results. Primarily too small displacements.
What am I not understanding?
Thank you very much!

Having said that I'm now using inches, pounds-force and seconds and it is a nightmare.
