Hi everybody,

I have a little problem with dimension units in formulas defining. For instance, if I define a new parameter of type Mass [kg] and add a formula based on volume [m^3] and density [kg/m^3], I obtain a mass (expressed by kg]. I'd like to express only this result by tons (T in CATIA, I guess), but I can't find a proper way - and I don't want and need to change the units in the Options. Can anyone help me, please? Thanks in advance.

If you do not need the unit, you could create a real parameter called "Mass (in T)" and defined it with a formula linked to your Mass in Kg.
