Axial:

FX : A positive value is compression, and negative tension.

Shear:

FY : A positive value is shear in the positive y-direction, and negative in

the negative y-direction.

+ Mz

Bending Moment :
MZ : A positive moment will cause tension at the top
of the member. Conversely, a negative moment will
cause tension at the bottom of the member.
