Unit Set
Base Class: None
Derived Classes: None
Description
Represents a set of units, with reference to the default
SI units "N m kg C s".
This is represented as a conversion factor for each of the
five physical quantities: force, length, mass, time and temperature.
The factor is a multiplier to convert from one default SI unit
to the required units.
For example, if the required units are kiloNewtons, there
are 0.001 kiloNewtons to one Newton and so the conversion
factor is 0.001. Similarly, if the required units are feet,
there are 3.281 feet to one metre, and so the conversion
factor is 3.281
Unit sets are created using the function createUnitSet
