Answers Supplying Physical Quantities
The ANSW attributes can be of any type and the sibling PTYP attribute is set to provide the physical dimension of answers that are physical quantities (e.g. DIST, BORE, MASS, PRESsure etc). Very often the QUEStion being asked determines the type of answer (e.g. PBOR is a BORE) and this will take precedence over any setting supplied by PTYP.
However many questions do not automatically imply a physical quantity and in these cases the PTYP setting is used: When entering answers any unit qualifiers are checked for consistency and if no qualifier is used then the current working units are assumed. When querying the values of answers appropriate unit qualifiers will be added.
The physical quantity of MAXA will be the same as ANSW for a given SELE and its PTYP and its owner's QUEStions
