[SS-2368] Unit behavior - units don't match issue

Hi, I have run into a problem with using units which are reciprocals - specifically Ohms and Siemens. If I try to add a quantity with units Ohms to the reciprocal of a quantity with units Siemens, an error occurs: Units don't match. Due to computer limitations where I am presently, I have only text entry. Example: Ra := 1 Ohm Ga := 1 S Rsum := Ra + 1/Ga = "units don't match" But they do cancel: Rprod := Ra * Ga = 1 Is there a work-around I'm missing somehow? Thanks, Fred Edited by moderator 06 August 2016 16:26:53(UTC)

Hello Fred, it is a bug; as workaround you can transit through a 3rd variable with symbolic optimization on his definition, then it is possible to evaluate numerically this variable in a separate region (see the cloud example) Edited by user 06 August 2016 16:22:01(UTC)

Hi, I was trying to implement a formula to calculate needed inductance on a flyback transformer and the program reports that units do not match. However splitting the formula in smaller pieces I was able to get the result out of it. units dont match.sm (35kb) downloaded 37 time(s).Thank you.

It is the same bug as the one shown in the first post, so I moved your post here. The problem is related to the numeric evaluation, but there is a workaround: - remove the RHS (the evaluation = and all after it) - change optimization to symbolical - show the result alone (Lp=#) Bug reported as SS-2368Edited by user 19 August 2016 18:08:50(UTC)
