The angle unit of the SI system is rad and its dimension is 1. In engineering angles are often scaled in degrees. Maple supports the unit "deg" or "arcdeg". However when calculating with these units it does not convert deg to rad automatically and replace rad by 1. Here is an example:

The result of evalf(B) should be 15.708 (= 5*pi), i.e. a value without dimension, neither arcdeg nor rad. How do I get the correct result?
