Force and Moment from Modal Analysis

Question

Hello, 
 I have extracted the results from modal analysis. The results look like the following picture. 
 
 As you seen in the table header, there are FX1, FY1, FZ1, MX1, MY1, MZ1 and FX2, FY2, FZ2, MX2, MY2, MZ2. So, I have two questions. 
 1. What does the number end of the FX, FY, FZ, MX, MY, MZ mean? 
 2. Displacement of each modeshape as shown in modal analysis result based on mass normalization. So, whether the force and moment of the result are the actual loading or not. Do they have unit, such as N, N*m or dimensionless? 
 Thank in advance

Greetings, 
 The following are defined as: FX1, FY1, FZ1, MX1, MY1, MZ1 and FX2, FY2, FZ2, MX2, MY2, MZ2

FX1 
 Force in the X-direction acting at the first point (PT1). 
 MX1 
 Moment in the X-direction acting at the first point (PT1).

FY1 
 Force in the Y-direction acting at the first point (PT1). 
 MY1 
 Moment in the Y-direction acting at the first point (PT1).

FZ1 
 Force in the Z-direction acting at the first point (PT1). 
 MZ1 
 Moment in the Z-direction acting at the first point (PT1).

FX2 
 Force in the X-direction acting at the last point (PT2). 
 MX2 
 Moment in the X-direction acting at the last point (PT2).

FY2 
 Force in the Y-direction acting at the last point (PT2). 
 MY2 
 Moment in the Y-direction acting at the last point (PT2).

FZ2 
 Force in the Z-direction acting at the last point (PT2). 
 MZ2 
 Moment in the Z-direction acting at the last point (PT2).
