(OP)
Hi, what direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) are the positive and negative bending moment values found in the results tables. Results are based on the global axes.

I always just look at the bending diagram, which is drawn on the tension side.

Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Do you feel any better?

But rather than worrying about clockwise or anti-clockwise, I recommend displaying the plates as solids, then displaying surface stress values, so you can see which face is in tension.
