Motivation

OpenMDAO's unit conversion is powerful but it should be easier for users to take advantage of our unit conversion tools in their models. Sometimes unit conversion within the compute/compute_partials methods is necessary, and we should provide a way of doing so consistently with the same conversion factors used internally within OpenMDAO.

Description

This enhancement involves two changes:

  1. openmdao.utils.units.convert_units will be added to openmdao.api
  2. openmdao.utils.units.get_conversion(from, to) will be added to openmdao.api and renamed to unit_conversion(from, to). The existing get_conversion will be deprecated.
