Hi All~

Just I have a question for Unit of Structure node.
As you know, when we apply any force on Structure elements, we use node command like below.

‘Structure node n load fx fy mom’

in this case, what is unit for fx fy and mom?
is it ‘N’ and ‘m^4’ or not?

Thanks for read.

If using SI units, then force has units of [N] — Newtons, and moment has units of [Nm} — Newton meter. The unit you mention of [m^4] would be the unit of moment of inertia.
