Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Electric conductance is already available in UnitsNet. However, we'd also need a definition of Electric Conductance per area quantity on a given surface to be able to define a local behavior during a physical phenomenon i.e. contact.

Describe the solution you'd like
Implementation of ElectricConductancePerArea quantity.

Additional context
Ansys Workbench contact definition has a setting named "Electric Conductance" but w/ "S/m^2"

I am a little hesitant to add this, it feels too domain specific and I can't find much on this particular quantity on Google. UnitsNet already has S, and google returns some stuff on S/m, but not much on S/m^2.

Not saying it is not used, but UnitsNet is trying to balance adding only the most widely used quantities to not bloat the library.

Thoughts @lipchev ?

Same here, @bc913 are you sure you're not misinterpreting the Ansys Workbench parameter? We've already got the ElectricConductance (M^-1 L^-2 T^3 I^2) as well as the ElectricConductivity (M^-1 L^-3 T^3 I^2).
I understand these examples- and if I try to imagine your scenario would probably require a value measured per length (so that we get to divide the L in (L/RA) - such that we get something like 0.5 MS/m^2 for the last example.

However, since I cannot find any examples / wiki-page for this (perhaps you could provide some?)- I also think that this is too niche (especially if all you need is to be able to substitute just that one division).

On a side note, I was thinking that we should probably try to invest some effort in implementing a template for creating a composite quantity - there have been many requests lately about adding something per something-else (representing existing quantities).
