Description

The Mass Conversion block computes the conversion factor from specified input mass units to specified output mass units and applies the conversion factor to the input signal.

The Mass Conversion port block labels change based on the input and output units selected from the Initial unit and the Final unit lists.

Ports

Input

Port_1 — Mass

scalar | array

Mass, specified as a scalar or array, in initial mass units.

Dependencies

The input port label depends on the Initial unit setting.

Data Types: double

Output

Port_1 — Mass

scalar | array

Mass, returned as a scalar or array, in final mass units.

Dependencies

The output port label depends on the Final unit setting.

Data Types: double

Parameters

Initial unit — Input units

lbm (default) | kg | slug

Input units, specified as.

lbm	Pound mass
kg	Kilograms
slug	Slugs

Dependencies

The input port label depends on the Initial unit setting.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: IU

Type: character vector

Values: 'lbm' | 'kg' | 'slug'

Default: 'lbm'

Final unit — Output units

kg (default) | lbm | slug

Output units, specified as:

lbm	Pound mass
kg	Kilograms
slug	Slugs

Dependencies

The output port label depends on the Final unit setting.

Programmatic Use

Block Parameter: OU

Type: character vector

Values: 'lbm' | 'kg' | 'slug'

Default: 'kg'
