Hi,

Can anyone please explain how to interpret the results obtained from display/diaphragm forces? I am getting a mixture of positive and negative forces at different nodes of the same floor for wind load applied in 'Y' direction, which doesn't make much sense to me.

Will appreciate if anyone could clarify.

Ben
