Select Units

You can configure and select the units of measurement used throughout EDEM.

To select units:
Select Tools > Options > Units to change units individually, or otherwise.

By default, all quantities are measured in standard SI units (Système International d'Unités).

Changes are applied throughout EDEM*.
