[ODE] units - Sugested Units List

[Alex Green]

The units may not have names but they are related to one another in an SI 
style fashion?

For example if I was to model my 1983 Holden VH Commodore (A typical 
student car in Australia) in ODE:

ODE Mass	1   (tonne)
ODE length	4.5 (meters)
ODE Motor Power	300 (newton/m)

That would not behave like my car!

Someone who is familiar with ODE should put together a 'Suggested Units' 
list as this question comes up often..
It would be the best way to make the unit relationships clear.

Thanks -alex
