Hello, first of all, great work on this package @JWock82. I'm a mechanical engineer intern from France and I'm using PyNite for my internship project. It has been great so far, however I have trouble with units since we in Europe do not use the same units as in the US. I have tried looking into the examples available but some units keep changing from one example to another. Could someone please list the unit used by the package for each physical quantity that's useful for all the geometry and calculations?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @Terre-ronce

I dont believe there are any unit conventions in PyNite, its the engineers responsibility to ensure that they are feeding in compatible units for stiffness & geometry parameters.

This is why there are mixed units in the examples

Yeah I was confused by something on the moment I thought there were some in built quantity in PyNite and I had to match the unit to get proper calculations. But it's not the case, so it's okay. I don't know how to delete an issue so I will just close it.
