Force and Moment Input Echo

Force and Moment Input Echo - 05/09/00 10:51 AM

I have noticed that the Static Output Processor's Input Echo will report a user input force or moment magnitude incorrectly. If I view the Input Echo Force and Moment report in one system of units, a given magnitude will be reported. However, if I change to another system of units and view again, the reported unit has been changed but the magnitude of the force or moment remains the same. It appears as though the conversion of the magnitude is not taking place. I am currently running version 4.10 but have tested this on version 4.20 with the same result. Is there any parameter I have neglected to set?

Yes, you're right, this is a problem.

Apparently, the units filter is not being applied to the input values of force and moment. I will see that this is corrected for the next update.
