Unit Systems

Scan&Solve relies on the unit system chosen when a model is created. The unit system entered into Rhino is used by Scan&Solve to interpret the geometry when restraints and loads are applied to the model.

Entering an incorrect unit system

If an incorrect unit system is supplied to Rhino when the model is created, the loads and thus danger level applied to the model will likely be significantly different than expected.

In the following example, a beam is restrained on the left end boundary and has a 1000 N load applied on the right end boundary which causes bending of the beam.
