    Hi,

     

    In Robot , the units used are the KN and M

     to get reactions :

     

    MysumReactions = robapp.Project.Structure.Results.Nodes.Reactions.Sum(Num_Cas);

    FXX = MysumReactions.FX / 1000.00;

     

    why divide by 1000 to get the FXX in  KN

     

    Thanks

    In ROS API you can read:

     

    "All functions of ROBOT Object Model use the standard SI unit, independently of the current settings in Robot options."

     

    So, all forces you get from robot api are in N.

     

    Best regards
