Using User-Defined Units

 

Infinite Extent accepts user-defined units for transmissivity, hydraulic conductivity, and well discharge rate. To create a user-defined unit, enter the unit label in the box marked Label. The label is the text that appears to describe the units. For example, the label for meters per day could be meters/day, m/day, or meters per day. Then enter the unit conversion factor. This is a number user-defined units are divided by to get meters per day for hydraulic conductivity, or square meters per day for transmissivity. For example, if user defined units for hydraulic conductivity were feet per day, the conversion factor would be 3.2808 because hydraulic conductivity in feet per day is divided by 3.2808 to get hydraulic conductivity in meters per day.
