Hello,
There is no complicated question:
What units are used for ploting the strain?
Is it in [%] or []

Thanks for help

Hi,

Strain is defined as du/dx, so units are used.

Hello,
So when I keep the units as N,Pa,m at all task, the strain unit is [m/m]?
 
Sorry,

I meant:

"Strain is defined as du/dx, so no units are used.
