Torque OSWEC hydraulic PTO #247

Hi!
I have a question about the hydraulic PTO for the OSWEC example.
When I increase the values of the piston top and bottom area, I saw that the power keeps increasing.
When I plot the velocity of the flap in pitch together with the torque applied by the PTO (calculated inside 'rotary to linear adjustable rod'), I noticed that the torque is positive when the velocity is positive, and negative when the pitch velocity is negative. Shouldn't this be the other way around?
Thanks in advance!
Regards
Nicolas
