Implementation in Proteus Schema

ForceUnit is only used as the type of the Unit attribute of Force. Force is implemented using DEXPI generic attributes for physical quantities. In a <GenericAttribute> element, the ForceUnit literal is given by means of its RDL reference in the table above. The Units attribute of the element is the name of the RDL reference in camel-case; it equals the name of the literal. The UnitsURI attribute of the element is the URI of the RDL reference.

Example

<GenericAttribute
  Units="Newton"
  UnitsURI="http://data.posccaesar.org/rdl/RDS1337939" ...>

Note that the <GenericAttribute> element must have further attributes (Format, Value, Name, and AttributeURI). See the implementation examples for Force and for the LowerLimitDesignPressingForce attribute of ReciprocatingPressureAgglomerator.
