Hi,

I've just started using this software and I think that it's great. However, I came across an issue that may be a bug. Here's my input:

a := 0,1 m
b := 0,05 m
L := 1 m
M := 1000 Nm

τ_max := (2*M)/(π*a*(b^2)) =

Now in the last line I want to change units to MPa. But when I do it (by writing MPa in the right placeholder), I get the following result:



No matter what I try, I can't get rid of this part that I highlighted in red. I want to have just MPa on the right side. Is that a bug or am I doing something wrong ?

Nothing is wrong.
Could you please check your expressions carefully?

Regards

Perhaps you are using 'Nm instead of 'N*'m

If you want you can define your own torque unit 'Nm:'N*'m before the calculations, otherwise you have to multiply the force unit fot the length unit

Problem solved, thank you very much. I had to type 'N*'m as you say because 'Nm wasn't recognized properly.

How to compute this

The problem is due to the internal storage of the program in Kelvin. You find several threads in the forum. you can also find an explanation in Martin Kraska's interactive guide (Tools menu -> Options -> Plugins -> interactive books). However the solution is to use DeltaC °

Thanks a lot.

... you can make the unit system silent, i.e: inactive

This is close to recommending pencil and paper.

Pretty close Martin, that's ± what QA sanity check does.
The mV/I temperature converter reads mV ... then displays °C.
In parallel to the black box mV/I, read mV, interpolate wrt NBS [now NIST].

wrong display of output units
You will have infinitely many of those, easy to doctor:
1. make the system silent, though not quite paper/pencil
2. make it user style at will.
