Hi all,

Do you know if there's a way to set a 10 conversion in units between kgf and newtons?
I mean, it's usual when making hand calculations in structural engineering to take the gravity as 10m/s2 instead of the actual 9,81m/s2.
The problem with this assumption is that if i may have data in different units (i.e. loads in kN and soil resistances in kg/cm2) which are assumed to convert in a 10-factor when making hand-calculations and when doing it in Smath Studio, although the conversion might be more accurated, it would lead to some odds in some cases.

Hope i have explained good enough,
Thank you very much,

You can re-assign any value to kgf or to any unit, which is 10N in your case.
Just copy and paste 'kgf:10*'N to start of your document.
I wouldn't recommend this though. Use correct values.

Thank you very much! I've been struggling for hours trying to do this
