Hello, I have been doing some static linear analysis in Abaqus, software which is quite new to me, but some results are not really what i epected, so I would like to double check if I did any mistake with the Units (i have read the file about it available on the site):

if i used MPa, mm, N, N/mm....the reactions' momentum should be in Nmm, shouldn't it?

Thanks!

Yes, if the force is in N and the dimensions are in mm, then the reaction moments will be in N*mm.
