Abstract
The present invention provides intrinsic units of measure for modeling physical systems. Physical systems may then be modeled using the units of measure. As such, actual units, reflecting real world measurements, can be used and propagated through the modeled system yielding results having units of measure. In some embodiments, units of measure may also be checked to determine if they are compatible for a given operation. If units are not compatible, the user may then be notified that compatible units are required.
