Converts a value given in a specified unit into the base unit of a quantity

Usage

toBaseUnit(
  quantityOrDimension,
  values,
  unit,
  molWeight = NULL,
  molWeightUnit = NULL
)

Arguments

quantityOrDimension: Instance of a quantity from which the dimension will be retrieved or name of dimension
values: Value in unit (single or vector)
unit: Unit of value
molWeight: Optional molecule weight to use when converting, for example, from molar to mass amount or concentration. If molWeightUnit is not specified, molWeight is assumed to be in kg/µmol
molWeightUnit: Unit of the molecular weight value. If NULL (default), kg/µmol is assumed.

Examples

simPath <- system.file("extdata", "simple.pkml", package = "ospsuite")
sim <- loadSimulation(simPath)
par <- getParameter("Organism|Liver|Volume", sim)

# Converts the value in unit (1000 ml) to the base unit (l) => 1
valueInBaseUnit <- toBaseUnit(par, 1000, "ml")

valuesInBaseUnit <- toBaseUnit(par, c(1000, 2000, 3000), "ml")
