Problem Statement:

How do I create a new unit set in Aspen Basic Engineering?

Solution:

To create a custom unit set:

1) Go to the CLE and open the Library Model you are using, go to the Quantity Types tab and make right click on the Unit Sets folder and choose Insert Unit Set:

2) On the Unit Set window you can change the Default Units of Measure for all the options we have within ABE using the Change UOM option. Additionally, you can select Copy Unit Set button to copy the units for an already created set and then modify the units for the quantity type you are interested in changing.

3) Recompile the Class Library into a Class Store:

4) Reload the workspace through the Administration tool so that you can now see the new unit set in your workspace:
