I have varying local axis for my beams, and I am not sure how to tell if the beam is being bent downwards or upwards. I know about the right hand rule, but from the grapsh you see below, is there a way to tell if the beam is tension or compression at the top of the beam?

Would you say there is tension or compression over the support? Notice the local axis vary from global ones
Hi @yiviw97057 ,
Top fibers in tension, bottom fibers in compression
