In my Caesar unit file .. unit for pressure is Bars , so all design pressure , hydro pressure is in bars.
When moving to Wind loading... Pressure vs Elevation , the units for pressure appear to be in KPa and elevation in mm.
At the bottom of the same window, there is a note "Units used here are acquired from input file not the current configuration file''.
So my question is what unit is actually used in calculation for Wind loading ...KPa or Bars.

We have confirmed that the input dialog for “wind pressure versus elevation” in CAESAR II 2016 (8.0) erroneously displays the “internal pressure” unit instead of the “wind load” unit. This error has been corrected and is available for download from Smart Support as a hot fix. We urge all users to download this correction to avoid incorrect wind loads (if user defined pressure versus elevation profiles are defined).

To acquire and implement this hot fix:

1) US & Canadian customers: To receive support, go to Intergraph® Smart Support if you already have a login. If you do not have a user login, click here to request one. If you are a maintenance customer, you have access to our knowledge base, technical tips, and downloads.

2) International Customers: refer to this link on the coade.com website, http://65.57.255.119/Support/Dealers.shtml

This error exists ONLY in CAESAR II 2016 (8.0).
