    Problem:

    How to customize the units a model?

    Solution:

    It is not possible to customize the units in AutoPIPE Vessel. The only option available would be to change the Preference Properties> Set Default Data> Unit System> Input / Output settings. 

     Find below the detail of units used in the UI (added after the value in the edit boxes):
