 **SesamX embeds predefined physical quantities, each of them carries a unit that you are free to define**. On input, each SesamX keyword is related to a physical quantity which provides the unit used to understand the numerical data. And this manual gives the physical quantity related to each keyword next to its description, as explained in the [[user_manual:sesamx:functions_description:|introduction]]. **SesamX embeds predefined physical quantities, each of them carries a unit that you are free to define**.

-For instance, the ''POINT'' keyword of the ''ADD-MESH'' function is related to the LENGTH quantity. And using the ''SET-UNITS'' function you can define the unit carried by this LENGTH quantity.+For instance, the ''POINT'' keyword of the [[user_manual:sesamx:functions_description:add-mesh|ADD-MESH function]] is related to the LENGTH quantity.

 **The ''SET-UNITS'' function is therefore used to define the unit associated with each predefined physical quantity**. SesamX expects you to provide the name of the units (for instance 'MM') as well as the coefficient to the standard unit system. **The ''SET-UNITS'' function is therefore used to define the unit associated with each predefined physical quantity**. SesamX expects you to provide the name of the units (for instance 'MM') as well as the coefficient to the standard unit system.
  
-If not provided in the input file, the ''SET-UNITS'' function will be filled by default with the following values.+Until the first call to the ''SET-UNITS'' function, SesamX assumes the following default units values.
