Within ONE AND SAME matchcad file how to get:

a/-forces in newton

b/-length in mm

??


I know there is an answer to define force in [m]*[g] =L^ L/T^2 = NEWTON
I want to see N instead

I am using version 2000


 
Newtons are a built-in unit. You simply type a capital N in the units placeholder in the result.

Same goes for mm

TTFN



 
But how to get sub-units in:

a/- pressure in [N/mm2] or [MPa]

b/ - area in [mm2]

c/- Moment of inertia in [mm4] . etc..

Thanks
 
Same thing. MPa needs to be defined as 10^6Pa first, but can then be used anywhere in the sheet.

TTFN



 
Click on a result, see the little black square to the right? Put your desired units there. mm, in, ft, user defined, etc. It does the conversion by itself.
