Good Morning
 What type of units I have to use, metrics (loads=Newtons or kip), lenght in meter of feets?

Thanks

it's up to user. but whatever unit selected user needs to be consistent throughout process because ADONIS does not convert parameters from one unit to another. for instance if you select psf for pressure you need to use foot for length slag for density (which is pcf/gamma) etc. but if you select MPa for pressure meter would be for length kg/m3 for density and MPa for modulus and so on.

there is unit selection drop down in the setting (i.e. GUI) if you select proper unit for your model ADONIS will help you in selecting proper unit for each parameters by showing it next to each one.

Hi
I use SI:m-kpa-kN/m3 units and try to enter density for Mohr-Coulomb properties. Which unit does the Mg/m3 stand for? Megagrams/m3?  So for 2000 kg/m3, Should I enter 2 Mg/m3 ?

if you are using KPa for stress you need to use "10E3 x Kg/m3" and if your are using MPa for stress "10E6 x Kg/m3" for density. and yes 2 instead of 2000 Kg/m3
