INCLUDE_TRANSOFORM to convert Units of Measure

      Hi all, I have to convert my kg-mm-ms model into tonn-mm-sec model. 

      I tried with INCLUDE_TRANSFORM card, by following this procedure:

      1) I have my main.k file, in which 13 submodels are included with INCLUDE card. 

      2) I created a new .k, called temp.k in which I only insert the card INCLUDE_TRANSFORM, by including the main.k file and setting the right conversion factors.

      3) Since in temp.k I can't see any modifications, I tried to create another .k file, called final.k, in which I include the temp.k with the card INCLUDE. 

      I don't see any modification in units of measure. 

      I tried also to modify the main.k, by adding directly there 13 INCLUDE_TRANSFORM cards, modifing each submodels, but also in this case this is not working: I got a lot of warning saying that some curves were duplicated and som others are not exising anymore. 

      What I am doing wrong? Does any of you know how to convert the units of measure?

      Thanks, Elisa

      Hi for the units check the Transform card 3, you need to know the conversion factors and the base units, INCOUT helps you to write the file having all the transform data which can use to include in futher models.

      Cheers, ram
