  I didn't bother to go through these - but I don't think any of them answer the OP's question.
  @Søren StærkStærkrk
  solves the problem.

    I believe that he has a fundamental problem that's all his designs are in an erroneous unit. So I send how to remove that variable and maybe just use the @Søren Stærk option for specific cases.

Doubleclick the color-chart and choose units in "definition" menu.

Appreciate everyone's help.

Here I show you what was wrong.

I chose the SS400 as the material.
But the unit of the material of SS400 (Young's modulus) was N/m^2.
So I rewrote this unit to N/mm^2.

Finaly, I could sulve this problem with your great help.
thank you .

    Hi
    Today,I ve gotta onother information from tel support.
    My solidworks is pro ver. but the simulation version is express,not pro.
    
    In this version, the unit change is not available. It means, nothing I can do for it.
    Still, as I put the captured screenshot yesterday , I could change the unit at least onece. Dont know why...
    
    Anyway sorry to bother your precious time .
    Thank you very much for your help.
