From the Main Menu, select Project Settings > Initial Parameter Definition 
From the Command Line, type 'InitialParameter' or 'IP'.
Unit System
Default units: Force-[kN]; Length-[m] and Time-[sec].

User Defined: The user may define units of Force, Length and Time.
Note: Units of Force and Length can be automatically converted but it is not possible to do so for Units of Time. The parameters such as permeability coefficient etc. are expressed in Time, for which the user should convert the values based on the selected Unit of Time.
