The data tables provided to us from gINT, for data for unconfined strength tests are great but Some of the tables for the various tests are set-up for the specimen dimensions to be in Millimeters to Inches and some are set-up for the specimen dimensions to be in millimeters.

Hi Kathleen,

I was afraid that's what the answer would be.
And I'm still waiting on IT to up-grade my gINT to 4.260 to see if that solves my coordinate system issue.

Thanks,

Brian

Hello Brian,

The dimensions on Input fields are only labels. Changing them changes nothing in how gINT calculates. (We get this question quite a bit.) Those are system fields. You cannot change how they calculate.

Do you know any programming? If so, you can add new fields for inputting those fields in inches and write a gINT Rule to do the calculations. On http://communities.bentley.com/products/geotechnical1/w/wiki/3951.gint-rules-samples, gr002 does something similar in the WC Density table. You could probably use that to start with. This is the manual for gINT Rules: http://communities.bentley.com/search?q=gint%20rules%20manual. Tech Support cannot provide much support for writing gINT Rules. We have Professional Services and there are gINT consultants that could do it for you.
