So I have a simple rectangular tank.
I placed my Pressure load on the inside faces.
The non-uniform distribution would be something like this:
P = ro * g * h
h is the Y+
ro * g is the value I put in to the box.
My question is: Units
What units does Simulation use when solving this?
Based on the Pressure value I specify? (N/m^2, psi)
If I choose N/m^2, then my Y+ should be solving in meters, correct?
If I choose psi, then my Y+ should be solving in inches, no?
But when I use psi, it doesn't produce the results I expect.
ie. ro*g
9.81 in metric (kg, meters)
13.91 in imperial (lbs, inches)
