ANSYS APDL does not have any units specified option, only the units shuld be consistent. I am wondering, if the model has English units, that is inch and pounds, in what units, Angular Acceleration will be calculated to apply that is, revolutions/sec^2 or radian/sec^2 or degrees/sec^2.

Thanks for help.

L K, Thanks for help.
ANSYS APDL units for Angular Acceleration are rad/sec^2, the angular acceleration calculated/converted in rad/sec^2 and applied as inertia load will give the correct results.
