Hello everybody,

a problem in the problem customization.
I don't know how to modify the unit field as indicated in the GiD manual
for the special fields.
If I only introduce the string #UNITS# after the property_name and the
unit, i.e. (in the file problem_name.mat)

QUESTION: Young's_modulus_E:#UNITS#
VALUE: 2.1e11Pa

and then I set the problem data

Data-Problem type-problem_name

the GiD crashes (I specify that without the unit, i.e. in the usual form

QUESTION: Young's_modulus_E:
VALUE: 2.1e11

it works!).

I used all other special fields and I found them excellent.
