Problem description

In the 2D 2015 version it is possible to specify a model unit for Temperature. This is relevant for applications, which include the 2D Thermal module in their analysis.
The possible options for temperature units are: K, ºC and ºF. By default, the unit of Kelvin (K) is selected.

However, when using a Chinese/Japanese Windows Operating System (OS), and you try to change the default unit of temperature, the system gives an error message:

In the bug report information, the exception message is similar to the following:
Unknown project unit and no getter specified: °C.

Solution

This issue is now solved in PLAXIS 2D 2016.00

In PLAXIS 2D 2015, please use the default unit of temperature set to Kelvin, to avoid any problems in the behaviour of the program.
