Hello,
this is maybe a stupid question, but just to be sure.
Suppose my model is representing a microstructure with chosen unit-lenght "micrometers = 10^-06 m = 1 um".
should I also accordigly express the Young's MOdulus and all the stress values in N/um²?
for example from a typical value of E in Pascal of
400 GPa = 400 *10^9 N/m²
should I put (in the material definition)
400*10^9 N/m² * 10^-12 m²/um² = 400 * 10^-3 N/um² ?
I think the only important think is consistency of units, so it is not mandatory to use Pascal in this case, right?
many thanks, Alex
