Hi friends,
Would you please tell me how can I change the units of variables in ABAQUS/STANDARD in order to show the field output variables in user defined units? for example Pa to psi.
Thanks

Actually, Abaqus does not make you specify what units that you use. In other words, there is not command to specify what the different units are. What you need to do is to select a consistent set of units and consistently use those units through out the simulation.

If you want psi instead of Pa, then you probably also want to switch to inches and pounds for the length scale and force.

You can read more about units in this thread (http://polymerfem.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2761).
