A small plugin enabling use of units in Grasshopper through UnitsNets and OasysUnits. With this plugin you can create Quantities = Unit + Value and convert values between different units.
UnitsNet is an opensource library "Makes life working with units of measurement just a little bit better."
It has been extended with typical engineering units by Oasys, in a forked version of UnitsNet called OasysUnits.
The UnitNumber plugin is a part of OasysGH, a shared library for the Oasys Structural Grasshopper plugins (GSA, AdSec and Compos). If you are a Grasshopper developer, feel free to inherit from OasysGH as it provides a bunch of helpers for various GH dev tasks wrapping external APIs in Grasshopper easier. It also comes with a shared default units settings.
Oasys was established in 1976 as the software house of Arup, and is now recognised as a leading commercial developer of engineering software for structural, geotechnical and pedestrian movement simulation/analysis software.
