After performing the analysis, I enter the postprocessing mode to view the member end force values. I click on the Beam page on the left side of the screen and see the values listed on the tables on the right hand side. Unfortunately, the moment values are in kip-inch units, even though my current units are set to feet and pounds. What do I have to do to get the values to show up in pound-feet units in the tables?
The unit system in which results are displayed on the tables is set using the facilities available under the View - Options menu. These are known as the display units. To set the display units for the bending moments and torsional moments, please do the following :
In the View menu, select Options - Force units. In the category called Moment, select the units you desire and click on OK.
