For calculating the pressure drop in a pipe, I use a pipe class with a flow parameter. I would like to implement a custom measurement for a flow rate, but I get an error:
NSInvalidArgumentException *** You must override baseUnit in your class ... to define its base unit.
My code for the flow unit dimension is:
class UnitFlow: Dimension {
static let cubicMeterPerSecond = UnitFlow(symbol: "m3/s", converter: UnitConverterLinear(coefficient: 1.0))
static let cubicMeterPerMinute = UnitFlow(symbol: "m3/min", converter: UnitConverterLinear(coefficient: 60.0))
static let cubicMeterPerHour = UnitFlow(symbol: "m3/h", converter:
//et cetera
static let baseUnit = UnitFlow(symbol: "m3/s", converter: UnitConverterLinear(coefficient: 1.0))
}
Where it goes wrong is in this line:
Text("\(pipe.flow.converted(to: UnitFlow.cubicMeterPerMinute).value)")
Any thoughts?
As the error suggests, you need to override baseUnit
. However, this is a method - not a variable.
Remove your current baseUnit
, and replace it with the following:
class UnitFlow: Dimension {
/* ... */
override class func baseUnit() -> Self {
Self(symbol: "m3/s")
}
}
