  Folks, the results from response spectrum lose their +/- signs after the arithmetic in the MCOM file. What if I added syntax to the MCOM file to store the sign for the node and element results prior to the arithmetic in MCOM and then reapplied the signs afterward? Do you think that’s plausible, or does that upend the basic theory of the combination somehow?
