User Selected Units

Marton,

I think your eventual plan was to allow the user to pick the units they work in. Was there a time line for when this might eventually get added?

Best,
Alan

I didn’t plan this. MolFlow is given for anyone to use for free, but development is very expensive so priority is given to Cern’s needs. As Cern uses (unfortunately) mbar, cm2 and liters, these are the units in MolFlow and I don’t have support to work on convenience functions.

If you have an intern or a student, he/she can modify the open-source code and make a pull request to add support for new units - I will review and integrate the changes. Alternatively, we sometimes do paid development for external users - if you need this function or some other ideas you mentioned (per-volume background scattering parameters, etc.), I can put you in touch with the Knowledge Transfer team.

Thanks,

Sorry, we have zero $$ for something like this right now. I’ve just been using a spreadsheet to convert units. I need to use a spreadsheet anyways to keep track of all my gas sources, sinks and analysis for all the various versions of simulations I do. I even work in Amps very often which is equivalent to mBar-L/s.
