- | ====Creating model with incorrect unit system==== | ||
- | If an incorrect unit system is supplied to Rhino when the model is created, the loads and 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. | ||

- | In the first image, the model was created by choosing the millimeters unit system. | ||

- | However, if the beam was intended to be modeled in meters, the result is quite different: the beam will not fail. Note that in both cases, Rhino shows the dimension of the beam to be 10.00. | ||
