<strong>Getting</strong> <strong>Started</strong>: A <strong>2D</strong> <strong>Magnetostatic</strong> <strong>Problem</strong><br />

Set Up the Drawing Region<br />

The first step in using the <strong>2D</strong> Modeler is to specify the drawing units to use in creating the model.<br />

In this case, you must change the units from millimeters to inches.<br />

To set up the drawing region:<br />

1. Click Model>Drawing Units from the menu bar. The Drawing Units window appears.<br />

2. Select Inches.<br />

3. Click the Rescale to new units radio button so the drawing area size will be converted to<br />

inches.<br />

4. Click OK.<br />

The units are changed from millimeters to inches, and inches now appears next to UNITS in the<br />

status bar.<br />

Note Throughout the rest of this guide, all commands will be given as Menu>Command.<br />

For example, the command you just used to change the drawing units would be given<br />

as: Click Model>Drawing Units.<br />
