• Create a file with mm, ton, s, °C units.
• import and mesh a simple step file.
• Create Material-A with the following properties.

• Open a material library and save the material.
• Create another file with in, lb, s, °F units.
• Import and mesh a simple step file.
• Open the material library and assign Material-A to the file.
• In the new file, open the material edit dialog, and the properties are as follows.

• Although the new unit labels are shown. Only the “Zero temperature” has been converted to the new units.

Units in Material Properties Preview

There is a minor bug in the Material Library Editor “Preview material properties.” When previewing properties that were entered in Imperial units, the units shown are correct but the values have been converted to SI units. The units are used correctly during an analysis, but the discrepancy can cause some confusion. Units and values match when viewed in the Material Editor." [Material Properties]
