LS-DYNA requires a consistent set of units to be used. All parameters in this manual are in SI units.
General
- length [m]
- mass [kg]
- temperature [K]
- time [sec]
- pressure [Pa]
Mechanical units
- density [kg/m3]
- Modulus of elasticity [Pa]
- yield stress [Pa]
- coefficient of expansion [m/m K]
Thermal units
- heat capacity [J/kg K]
- thermal conductivity [W/m K]
- heat generation rate [W/ m3]
