In the preferences menu, one can choose either meters/sec/sec, ft/sec/sec, or G for the acceleration units. I assume G stands for "g", the acceleration of gravity, and not G, the universal gravitational constant. However, g, the acceleration of gravity, is measured in some units - ft/sec/sec, meters/sec/sec, furlongs/fortnight/fortnight, etc. So, if I pick G, what are the units?
I did some experimentation with simulating a design, and it seems that the units of G default to SI when velocity is SI, and English when velocity is English. Can someone verify if that is true? If it is not true, what are the units of G?
Also, I would suggest that G be changed to g, as G is an incorrect symbol for the acceleration due to gravity.
Thanks,
Mark
