hi all,
could anybody explain why sign of axial load in "ALL" tab for 208 node of 18681 beam is "+", but in "SUMMARY" & "ENVELOPE" tabs " -" ? Why STAAD change sign of all forces at end node of the beam?
Also I dont understand explanation of sign convention from below article:
communities.bentley.com/.../2041.collection-of-other-postprocessing-faqs
what means "Moment-Y (MY) : Positive = Along local Y axis, Negative = Opposite to local Y axis" , usually moment MY shall be counterclockwise/clockwise related to axis Y.
How to correctly interpret forces sign, please show sign convention diagram with direction of + moments/forces
