Dear Edison,
MATLAB facilitate the user to select the units as per their requirements, only you have to be enter the same "SYSTEM OF UNITS" for your project. That is you have to be entered the all parameters of SI units / MKS units / CGS units.

This is correct. In other words, use whatever system of units you want. Just make sure that you are consistent; for example, if you measure side length in feet, then don't use a magnetic permeability involving meters.
