The Material Coefficient values provide numbers reflecting the material property, and are the fractional change in length per unit change in temperature.
A scale with a coefficient of 11.5 microns/meter/degree C becomes 0.0000115 meters/meter/degree C or just 0.0000115/degree C.
This can be thought of as meters/meter/degree C or inches/inch/degree F but since the length in both the numerator and denominator are in the same units they divide out.
Entry Name: MaterialCoeff(PXYZ)
Entry Type: Character string that specifies the degrees in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. The default value is NONE ( ).
