jason

Just reading the docs, it seems to be a scaling factor, probably to allow you to switch between something intimate like a glass of water(with a bullet going through it!), and something larger like a dam bursting.

MKS - Meters Kilogram Seconds
CKS - Centimeter Kilogram Seconds

?

Cheers,

hi thx J.C

i guess it's part of the magic of houdini…

might be worth including some of that in the Houdini help, or a link even.
