material & section database unit consistency problems

[parhyang]

I try to modeling a simple frame using predefined materials and section from database, working with ‘kN-m’ as initial units and accessing to database for steel material and section are working properly. All values are converted to initial units e.g AISC section database with ‘inch’ units being converted to ‘m’ units.

This is not working properly in case of ‘kip-ft’ as initial units, all values become zero, actually this should be not. can you reproduce these problems?

We cannot reproduce the problem, all the conversion runs fine starting from any combination of lenght and force units.
