Confused about axis

Hi, I confused about the moment directions.

For example I ve a slab. I want to design the main reinforcement of slab in local Y direction (I think it is axis-2). I get N1, M1, N2, M2, NXX, NYY, MXX, MYY values. Which values should I use? I think MXX and M2 are the same with a little difference. But which one is the one? Thank you

MXX or MXX (Wood and Armer) if you want to include MXY) in the projection of the results (direction) set along the direction of the reinforcement.

Before you analyze the model, you should first set the proper local axis of the panels you are designing. point the local axi of your desired panel to the main direction you wish to design with. MXX+ or MXX- is wood and armer and considers main bending and torsion effects.

 

If you wish to design according to your Local Y direction, assuming the supports are perpendicular to your local Y, you should choose MYY
