When you used two different parameters with different unit in the formula, you 
need to make sure units of two variables are meaningful to the IDV. I am 
guessing this is the cause of your problem. For example in the formula a + b, 
if a is temperature with unit K, and b is pressure with unit Pa, and the IDV 
will throw unit exception. The solution is to call the formula inside the 
formula to change the unit, a + b will be noUnit(a) + noUnit(b), the noUnit 
formula will remove the unit of a, and b. Let me know if you need further help.
