[Equest-users] cqange units

[Pasha Korber-Gonzalez]

Hi Zahid,

No, you won't be able to change units to SI in eQuest.   From what I know,
the raw version of DOE2.2 can do different units but this has not been
programmed into eQuest yet.


I have a similar issue when I work on projects outside of the US that are
all in SI units.   As the modeler who chooses to use the program that can't
accept SI units I have to do all the extra work of conversions so that I can
use the program I want to use which runs in IP units....this is your task to
perform the conversions, and double check that this additional level of work
doesn't cause errors in your program through a conversion value...  So use
extra quality control when you do this exercise.

There is a freeware conversion program that I like to use and keep open when
I am working on SI projects for eQuest.  It's called Convert.exe.   Find one
that you like to use and keep it near you when you are doing your take-offs.

Good luck, and this will make you a more well rounded simulator because you
will have the understanding of the measure of both units for your project.
