Hello,
As far as I know the elements will currently have to be in meters when using the model construct component. Using the Fem Design software manually, it is possible to change the unit globally. Is there a plan to specify a unit feature to the Grasshopper tools?
Thanks
Mads
Hi @luke_warm
we have started considering to develop units within the API as it is one of the most features 
What units helper are you looking for?
Is the most important being able to work with m, m (dimension) or also N, kN [Force]?
As you said, FEM-Design API currently work with meter and kN
Thanks for your fast response.
Adding:
Specifying unit associated with geometry of the model (bars, columns, plates) and the axes system is the most important for me, Having to potentially manage two models (with different scales) in the Rhino/Grasshopper environment is just very painful.
Ideally the API should reflect the setup in the Fem Design user interface.
