It has been a looooong time issue for the community : how to deal with units in SOFA. "If I use mm instead of m, what appends ton my Young modulus ?" : heard too many times.
This is a simple utilitary lib that provide a class where you can define the system of parameter that you use, given a set of "primary" units (length, mass and time).
Then, when you need to specify a value that has a certain unit, you just specify the unit you want and the conversion is done automatically for you. For instance :
And you can also use the 'call' overload
The usual units for mechanics are given (see units.py). It is really easy to add more, even for "primary" units, e.g. if we want to deal with electricity at one point
👨 Human made ! The tests have been generated by AI, the rest I did it myself for fun.
