Now, when you are adding node coordinate value as 5000, program consider it as 5000 inch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now you are using&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;SetInputUnits function.&amp;nbsp;This function sets the input unit of length and force of the currently open .STD file. You have assigned length unit as 4 that means you have assigned length unit as &amp;#39;meter&amp;#39;. So program converts 5000 inch value to meter unit which is equal to 127 m and display the value.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
