I need to set stress unit to kg/square centimeters but that's not available in Revit project units. Is there a way to define it?
I am using Revit 2010.

your interest is in kilogram-force/cm^2?

can you tell us more about your particular application or what you'd like to use kgf/cm^2 for?

also would be interested to know why conversion to Pa (N/m^2) isn't viable.

Thanks,

Sorry, got it wrong: kN/cm² is available!
Surprised you really need this unit ;-)!
I also checked, wether you could use an alternative Unit, but the only similar option is dekaNewton/m² which is probably now what you need...
