Do I need to set 9.8 to the gravity component?

Hi, a simple question, do I need to input 9.8 to the gravity load component? or can it simply be a unit Z vector?

Thanks!

The gravity component assumes a value of gravity on earth, you can use a vector to apply a multiplier of gravity and a direction should you require it.

Please refer to https://manual.karamba3d.com/3-in-depth-component-reference/3.2-load/3.2.1-loads for the values used for the different SI and Imperial versions.
