How do I change stress output units in the *.ANL output file? They are coming out as kN/m2. I want N/mm2.

The units of items reported in the analysis output file are based on the unit settings in the input command file ( editor ). The unit that is current at the time the relevant command triggering the output is processed, is used for the reporting. One can set the units appropriately using the editor ( Utilities > Command File ) as explained next. For example to get the support reactions and member forces reported in Newton and mm units one needs to enter the unit command before the print commands as shown next

PERFORM ANALYSIS

UNIT MM NEWTON

PRINT SUPPORT REACTIONS

PRINT MEMBER FORCES

…

Any other output printed in the ANL file following the above commands, would also be printed in the currently set units of Newton and mm.
