Units factor for results visualization

[sdesprad]

Hello-

Thank for developing such comprehensive set of tools for OpenSeesPY.

Would be possible to introduce an Unit factor in the post-processing commands (see example below) to transform the ops system units to different units, only for the purpose of presenting results? In the example shown below, the results are presented in kip * in and it would like to present the results in kip * ft.

Thank you,

@sdesprad Hi, thanks for your feedback. This feature may be possible, but it requires some considerable work. I will think about it and maybe release it in the next one or two versions, if it is completed.

Hi, @sdesprad ， v1.0.14 has added a function to support post-processing unit conversion, please refer to the document:
Unit conversion in post-processing.

Corrections are welcome.

Thank you very much!

@sdesprad Hi, there,

In version v1.0.15, I implemented two parameters, unit_symbol and unit_factor , to control the units displayed in the visualization. The factor unit_factor is used to scale the data so that it matches your current unit setting unit_symbol . You can give it a try.

unit_symbol: str, default: None
    Unit symbol to be displayed in the plot.

unit_factor: float, default: None
    The multiplier used to convert units. For example, if you want to visualize stress and the current data unit is kPa, you can set    unit_symbol="kPa" and unit_factor=1.0. If you want to visualize in MPa, you can set unit_symbol="MPa" and unit_factor=0.001.

Interesting, thank you very much! I will take a look at your demo, and implement it in our project.

Thank you @yexiang92 for the great tools you have developed.

I'm trying to upgrade from v1.0.14 to v1.0.19, and I'm getting an error shown below. It seems like the root cause is when I include the update_unit_system command.

Please, see below some screenshots. Do you know what I'm doing wrong?
Thank you very much,

Before running the Unit Update command, it works:

After I include the Unit update command, I get the following error.
