Hi, I have an issue with the units for the calculation shown in the image edit: image attachedThe calculation of 200/d_eff gives a result of 192.96, which is in units of m^-1, however I need the units in mm^-1 (0.19296) since d_eff is in units of mm. It seems like it is impossible to change it. I have tried all the options in the tools->calculations settings. There is a similar post to mine on the forum, but it doesn't really answer my question: https://en.smath.info/fo...-of-the-calculation.aspxCan you please advise on this? I seem to be able to change the units from m to mm, when the units are in the numerator, but not when the units are in the denominator. Thanks in advance.

The procedure is well illustrated in the interactive guide "Interactive SMath Handbook" (by Martin Kraska) downloadable from the menu -> tools -> plugins. It is valid for both numerator and denominator units
Click a result. Then a placeholder appears to the right of the result. Set the cursor to the placeholder. Type "1/mm" and confirm the unit "mm" in the dynamic assistant by pressing [Tab]

sergio Hi Sergio, Thanks for your quick reply, however the units of 1/m still remain although I have added 1/mm like you suggested before. Please find attached the image edit: image attachedThanks Iura Edited by moderator 23 April 2018 12:00:45(UTC)

Hello Iura, Originally Posted by: koodakk3 however the units of 1/m still remain although I have added 1/mm like you suggested before. please right-click that region and check if you have the "Ignore units" option in the context menu enabled; in this case uncheck it.

Hey, Yes, the Ignore units option was enabled. Thank you, this has solved my query. SMath Units1.pdf (20kb) downloaded 19 time(s).Thanks Iura

As Jean said, it would really help out if you could attach the .sm file. It appears that there is an error somewhere in your calculation. The units come out to kg^(1/2)*m^(3/2)/s. The unit N is kg*m/s^2. So your result is not equivalent to Newtons. This could simply be an error in variable definition (incorrect/missing units) or there may be an error in your arithmetic resulting in erroneous result. Edited by user 23 April 2018 16:41:40(UTC)

It looks like the typical dimensional formula situation. In these formulas the quantities must be entered with a specific unit of measure and the result is read with specific units of measure. Usually I act like this: sergio
