Question

Why is the result of the formula calculation smaller by the factor of 1,000 compared to the numerical calculation, although there are no dimensions?


Answer:
When entering formulas with values without dimensions, it is assumed that they refer to the SI units. If the sought unit is not an SI unit but a multiple of it (for example, kN instead of N), the result is factorized accordingly. The example in the image shows 1,000 N/m = 1 kN/m.
