A model using one of the simple provided units systems is shown in figure 3.8. This unit system is<br />

called BasicUnits; the units it defines can be examined by double clicking on its icon, or by invoking<br />

Configure, as shown in figure 3.9. In that figure, we see that “meters”, “meter”, and “m” are defined,<br />

and are all synonymous. Moreover, “cm” is defined, and given value “0.01*meters”, and “in”, “inch”<br />

and “inches” are defined, all with value “2.54*cm”.<br />
