	<tr>
		<td>Description:</td>
		<td>This model demonstrates a simple example of unit conversion. A "force" value is supplied
			at the root and a Calculation calculates "area", all using metric units.  However, the
			calculation of "pressure" is supplied by a sub-model which uses English units.
			<p><br>
			While this is a very simplistic example, it represents a realistic use case in which some
			contribution to the overall simulation process is supplied by some external model that is
			referenced, and that external model uses a different set of units or even system of units
			(as is the case here).  This example shows how Isight not only supports the definition
			of units on parameters but also properly handles the conversion of values among parameters
			with different units.
