Abmho

unitStandard termUnits

A historic unit of electrical conductance equal to one billion siemens.

The absolute electromagnetic unit of conductance in the old centimeter-gram-second system. It equals one billion mhos, or one billion siemens in the standard SI system. The unit represents the reciprocal of the abohm and was used in early theoretical physics before standard international units were adopted.

The original paper defines the conductor properties in abmhos, which we need to translate into siemens for the simulation software.
