Issue relating to applying a negative eccentric load has been fixed.
When applying an axial load at a prescribed eccentricity, if the eccentric distance was entered as negative, eg 10@-100 (10kN load at an eccentricity of 100mm to the left of the members center) the combined stress calculation subtracted the stress due to the moment from the total stress rather that adding it.
