hello
I´m using gravitational forces, but I want to use kilogram forces
Someone knows how to use kilogram forces in COMSOL. For example "pound forces" are "lbf" and "pound mass" are "lb", kilogram mass are "kg", but I don´t know how I use kilogram forces.
Kind regards

Hi
I find it so much easier in SI units, but "les goûts et les couleurs ..." are certainly personal preferences ;)
for me 1[kg]*g_const = 9.81...[N]
where g_const is the COMSOL name for average Earth gravity acceleration in [m/s^]
So of the kgf is not predefined in COMSOL (check the doc/help for "units")
then normalise by a parameter you define as my_kgf=1[kg]*g_const and you should be there, no ?

Good luck
