can someone advise me about what is the differences between these load cases + wind load if I interchange there sign
please share your opinions
1st
1a.)CASE 11 (OPE) W+D1+T1+P1+H+U1-U2+U3+WIN1
CASE 12 (OPE) W+D1+T1+P1+H+U1-U2-U3+WIN2
CASE 13 (OPE) W+D1+T1+P1+H-U1-U2-U3+WIN3
CASE 14 (OPE) W+D1+T1+P1+H-U1-U2+U3+WIN4

1b.)CASE 11 (OPE) W+D1+T1+P1+H+U1-U2+U3+WIN1
CASE 12 (OPE) W+D1+T1+P1+H+U1-U2-U3+WIN3
CASE 13 (OPE) W+D1+T1+P1+H-U1-U2-U3+WIN2
CASE 14 (OPE) W+D1+T1+P1+H-U1-U2+U3+WIN4

2a.)CASE 11 (OPE) W+D1+T1+P1+H+U1-U2+U3+WIN1
CASE 12 (OPE) W+D1+T1+P1+H-U1-U2+U3+WIN2
CASE 13 (OPE) W+D1+T1+P1+H-U1-U2-U3+WIN3
CASE 14 (OPE) W+D1+T1+P1+H+U1-U2-U3+WIN4

2b.)CASE 11 (OPE) W+D1+T1+P1+H+U1-U2+U3+WIN1
CASE 12 (OPE) W+D1+T1+P1+H+U1-U2-U3+WIN2
CASE 13 (OPE) W+D1+T1+P1+H-U1-U2+U3+WIN3
CASE 14 (OPE) W+D1+T1+P1+H-U1-U2-U3+WIN4

well I run the analysis and find out that there output are different..
what step should I follow regarding the signs of the seismic/acceleration load?
does it have a standard to be followed regarding the signs?
