Parameter Units and Limitations

[Joanne Kwon]

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?

Many thanks,
Joanne

Hi Joanne,

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.
