After having result in ODB file format for ABAQUS software, is it correct to take minimum principal stress as compressive pressure and Maximum principal stress as tensile stress. Because when we draw the Mohr's Circle against Shear stress Vs Normal Stress axis. mostly/probably the minimum principal stress is negative/lower than maximum principal stress.

So which one is compressive stress in ABAQUS/ Software.

Thanks a lot.
