Export to .bdf - Unit system

Export to .bdf - Unit system
Parents
  • I am looking at exporting an Apex model as a .bdf so that it can be interrogated in Patran. The model session units are mm-kg-s-N
     
    When i look at the export options from the .bdf option i get a number of options for the unit system but none that match the models session units.
     
    The option that i can see are -
    m-kg-s-N
    cm-kg-s-cN
    cm-kg-ms-10^4N
    cm-kg-micros-10^10N
    mm-kg-ms-kN
    cm-g-s-dyn
    cm-g-micros-10^7N
    mm-g-s-microN
    mm-g-ms-N
    mm-t-s-N
    in-slinch-s-lbf
    ft-slug-s-lbf
    mm-khyl-s-kgf
    mm-kg-s-mN
    cm-g-ms-daN
    ft-lb-s-lbf
     
     
    Also it says, if you chose the "Custom" units system, you must ensure that the unit system you have defined is consistent. However, no "Custom" button is present in the down selected box. Where is this "Custom" option?
     
    Thanks
