·       If the unit is also specified with value in the Max. Pressure section of the Plug Detail and the unit is different to the unit defined in the Cavity Browser > Net information section, then MDTools converts the value to the current unit (specified in the Cavity Browser Net tab) to compare pressure values.

·       If Design Unit in MDTools Options is Inch, then the default Pressure unit is “psi”.

·       If Design Unit in MDTools Options is Millimeter, then the default Pressure unit is “bar”.
