Hye all,

During the input, I already set the unit to MM,
but in the output, the unit is in English, How to set this?

Everything (except for the Solution Module TXT file) should be presented in whatever units system you select in the configuration.

The Solution Module TXT file is an internal file not intended to be included in the formal reports. This file is generated by the Solution Module (in internal program units) as an aid in determining the source of the output values.

I also have had the same problem as amiza above.

On a related note, I have an issue with the calculation of fluid weights. I recently did some hand calculations to check a Tank model. It turns out the fluid weight that Tank calculated in Newtons was wrong, and off by a factor of ~4.4 (coincidentally, the ratio between newtons and lbs). When I changed the model to English units, the output weight units changed to pounds, but the weight value stayed the same (the fluid weight was now correct).

Is there a way to fix this units issue so that Tank outputs the correct fluid weight in Newtons?

I am currently using Tank 3.00. See outputs below.

Regards,
Gregor

True, the conversion factor was not applied to the fluid weights in the initial release of Version 3.00. This problem was corrected in the 080201 (Feb 1, 2008) build.

Assuming you registered your software, you would have received an e-mail from COADE announcing the availability of this "build", and directing you to download it from the website. This is the main reason we suggest that everyone register their software.

Subsquently you should have also received e-mails announcing the release of Version 3.10 and Version 3.20. The API-650 Code has changed significantly since the release of of TANK Version 3.00, you really should be using Version 3.20.
