Use the SI values for solver decks unless your model has a deliberately consistent alternative unit system. The APDL and CalculiX text is intended as editable setup support.

Mechanical material properties such as elastic modulus, density, yield strength, thermal expansion, and conductivity are reported in different unit systems. Converting them preserves the physical quantity while changing scale; it does not supply missing properties or prove that source values apply to a particular grade, direction, or temperature.
Material Property Converter applies this concept to its defined inputs and workflow. This material property converter supports SI and Imperial units, material presets, manual overrides, elastic-property solve-for relationships, and export-ready text templates for preliminary FEA setup.
For this conversion, the user supplies material preset, manual override, and elastic solve-for; the tool returns converted property table, elastic relationship result, and solver text from the defined scale factors or equations. The selected units and sign or reference conventions must describe one consistent physical case. Preset values are generic and vary by grade, temperature, process, and standard.
Convert common FEA material properties between SI and Imperial units, solve compatible isotropic elastic relationships, and generate editable ANSYS APDL or CalculiX starter text.
With E = 200 GPa and Poisson's ratio = 0.3, the isotropic relationship G = E / [2(1 + nu)] gives about 76.9 GPa. That value is useful for checking whether a material card is internally consistent.
This tool is intended for educational, estimation, and preliminary engineering use. Always verify critical engineering calculations with applicable standards, validated software, and qualified professional judgment before using results in real design, manufacturing, construction, safety, or compliance decisions.
