sign convention for qs #35

Open juney-lee opened 1 year ago

juney-lee commented 1 year ago

The current convention for qs in RV2 is: positive for compression and negative for tension.

FormFinder uses the opposite convention.

As the plugins will soon operate under the same environment based on compas_ui where the meshes will be exchanged from one plugin to the other, this convention should be consistent.

The dots are showing the current q values.
