Switch to a Different Unit System

 Description Switch from one unit system (for example, SI) to another (for example, FPS). By default, Maple uses the SI unit system.

Load the Units[Standard] package.

 > $\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{Units}\left[\mathrm{Standard}\right]\right):$

Switch to another unit system. Maple recognizes Atomic, CGS, EMU, ESU, FPS, MKS, MTS and SI.

 > $\mathrm{Units}\left[\mathrm{UseSystem}\right]\left({\mathrm{FPS}}\right)$

Specify an expression using values with different units. Maple returns the dimensioned results in the units of the new unit system.

 > ${10.0}⟦{\mathrm{ft}}⟧{+}{10.0}⟦{\mathrm{cm}}⟧$
 ${10.32808399}{}⟦{\mathrm{ft}}⟧$ (1.1)
