Change display unit in STAAD.Pro output viewer/post processing report

Hi,

I am using STAAD.Pro V8i (SELECTseries 4) 20.07.09.11.

I am not sure if there is some issues with the way that I set up my STAAD.Pro on my computer, but I cannot change the units and decimal points on STAAD Output and Steel Design Details report (Postprocessing-->Reports-->Under "Output" categories-->Steel Design Detail). The standard unit displayed was mixture of "INCH" in "Properties" section, "FT" in "length", "KIP INCH" in "Parameter" and "Stresses" section, "KIP-FEET" in "Max Force/Moment Summary" and "Design Summary". I also noticed that the "Ratio" in the Steel Design Detail is not matching decimal points, e.g. STAAD Output will have "0.941" as ratio but on the Postprocessing report, it will have "9.410E-1" displayed.

I would like to change all displayed units in Steel Design Details to INCH POUND. Is there a way to change the units displayed for the Steel Design Details (after input TRACK 2 syntax in the STAAD Editor)? Is there anyway to ensure units and decimal place consistancy in both output and post processing report for the Steel Design Detail?

Thank you.

  • If your intention is to obtain results such as stresses in the Beam-Stresses page or Plate-Contour page in Newton and METER units, N/m2 is already available as one of the choices under View - Options - Force Units - Stress.

    For the item under Reports called Steel Design Detail, the program doesn't offer the user much flexibility in terms of the units. The facility described in the above paragraph cannot be used to get output in the desired units for Steel Design.
