Welcome to the FEBio Forum. This forum serves the community of FEBio and FEBio Studio users and developers. Forum participants are encouraged to post questions, as well as answer posts from others. A broad level of participation is encouraged, to create a vibrant community that helps improve the quality and usefulness of these open-source/free software products. Moderators are here to assist with explaining novel features, addressing bug reports and reviewing feature requests, but the effectiveness of the forum depends critically on the participation of experienced users who can assist novices or share ideas and models that explore challenging problems. Please feel free to join in this effort. You can subscribe to forums by pressing the "Subscribe" button at the top of the forum.

To assign materials to a concerned geometry we need to give values for many parameters. For example, Young's modulus, Bulk modulus, permeability and so on.
What are the units for all of these parameters?
Moreover, are there any upper and lower bound values for these parameters?
FEBio does not use any specific unit system. Instead it assumes that all the parameters have the correct units. It is therefore up to the user to choose a consistent set of units and do any necessary conversions. Off course, if you have any questions on how to do these conversions we'd be more than happy to help.
Cheers,
Steve.
