SI
- International System of units (meter-kilogram-second) (default)FT
- English System of units (feet-pound-second)
In the SI system, surface loads are in units of m for DISP, degrees K for TEMP, and W/m 2 for HFLU; volumetric loads are in units of m for DISP, N/m 3 for FORC, and W/m 3 for HGEN.
In the English system, surface loads are in units of ft for DISP, degrees F for TEMP, and BTU/sec-ft 2 for HFLU; volumetric loads are in units of ft for DISP, pdl/ft 3 for FORC, and BTU/sec-ft 3 for HGEN. A pdl is a poundal, and 32.174 pdl = 1 lbf.

Notes
This command only specifies which unit labels are to be written to the file when the exprofile is issued. It does not perform unit conversions.
