The COMSOL Multiphysics software supports a number of consistent unit systems, including the SI unit system, which is the default unit system, unless you specify another unit system to be the default in new models on the General page in the Preferences dialog box. The physics interface displays the unit for the physical quantities entered in the selected unit system, but by Using Standard Unit Prefixes and Syntax you can use any available and applicable unit or SI prefix to define your input quantities. In addition to SI units, many English units and units from the CGS (or cgs) system are also available, regardless of the unit system used in the model. All data in the material databases and Material Library product use SI units with declared units using the unit syntax (see Materials). This makes it possible to use the material data also in models with non-SI unit systems. Regardless of the selected unit system, you can always choose from a list of applicable units for plotting and results evaluation.
