PhysicalModel

java.lang.Object
- org.jscience.physics.model.PhysicalModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

javax.measure.unit.Dimension.Model

Direct Known Subclasses:

HighEnergyModel, NaturalModel, QuantumModel, RelativisticModel, StandardModel
```
public abstract class PhysicalModel
extends java.lang.Object
implements javax.measure.unit.Dimension.Model
```
This abstract class represents a physical model. Instances of this class determinate the current quantities dimensions.

To select a model, one needs only to call the model select static method. For example:[code] public static void main(String[] args) { // Global (LocalContext should be used for thread-local settings). RelativisticModel.select(); ... [/code]

Selecting a predefined model automatically sets the dimension of the base units.
