When I launch Ansys Mechanical from the same project it still has the default SI Units, not the new default units I set in Workbench. Is it possible to have Mechanical launch with the Workbench default units? Or do I need to manually change these everytime I launch mechanical for the first time in a project?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks,&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Caymen&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-426860","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-mechanical","topic-tag-units"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_topic_id":["426860"],"_bbp_subscription":["511731","5977","597359"],"_bbp_author_ip":["192.16.76.32"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["447598"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["447598"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2025-12-01 05:50:50"],"_bbp_reply_count":["6"],"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":["0"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_engagement":["511731","5977","597359"],"_btv_view_count":["755"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"]},"test":"cbarlowblueorigin-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/426860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/426860\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=426860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
