      The LS-DYNA solver and subsequently the LS-PrePost application are unitless. The units in LS-DYNA must be consistent and its the users responsibility to make sure of this. The reader is referred to the Getting Started guide>UNITS section in Volume-I of LS-DYNA keyword user’s manual and the following link which contains examples of consistent units: http://ftp.lstc.com/anonymous/outgoing/support/FAQ/consistent_units For consistent units used by the electromagnetic solver please find attached a spreadsheet with the EM units.
