If the units are not shown on the input forms, use [F1] to pull up the "help text".

dear Richard
sorry , my note is not right.
what I asked should be when I firstly enter the structural model, there has a mask which is material specification, in it I can input Density , Yield Strength and Young 's module ....
whether I select ENGLISH unit or SI unit, the fault value alway s same in material specification .

whether there has a definite expression in Caesarii.

thanks

The structural input file is a flat text file with no intelligence. So once the file is created, you can't change the units as you can with a piping model.

If you start a structural model in English units, the default material properties are in English units. If you start a structural model in SI units, then the default material properties are in SI units.
