Changing units of probe variable

I have a heat conduction model running and I have put a probe at the centre of my domain so I can track temperature. It keeps reverting to Kelvin for the units of temperature - and the resulting data table and plot graph are also in Kelvin. I'd like it in degC, and have set the units to be degC. However whenever the solver runs it reverts to K. What dumb mistake am I making?

I tested this in a simple heat transfer model but was unable to reproduce the behavior that you saw. Can you upload the model or send it to COMSOL Support?

Gunnar, I'll send it to Comsol support. I'd rather not upload the file to the public discussion.

Hi,

I had a similar problem. The output used to be in degC, since lost it's unit in the probe table. I solved the issue by clearing the result, deleting the table, getting the initial solution for the study step, and then selecting one of the probes in the definition table and updating the solution.
