I've spent more than an hour searching for an answer so thought I'd better ask other users. Selecting these units for the model, I'd assume the output pressure units should be pounds per square foot. When I looked at the pressures in my model, they are astoundingly too high (or negative). I then thought it was because the pressures are absolute rather than gauge...still astoundingly high (and some impossible negative). It also switches from positive to negative within one cell block, with no transition. Am I missing something here, or is my model just broken?

Some of my data....

The visualizations of the model and all other outputs seem reasonable. I just don't get it. Any ideas?
