Dealing With Difference in Convection Coefficient — Lesson 10

Regarding the AMPOWDER command, why is the entry for the powder convection coefficient different from the value entered in the Details window for AM Process > Build Setting?

The difference in the convection coefficient is likely due to a unit conversion from what's displayed in Mechanical software (W/mm2 *  ̊C) to the solving units (tons/second3 *  ̊C).
