MONPNT1

Bulk Data Entry Defines an integrated load monitor point at a point (x,y,z) in a user-defined coordinate system. The integrated loads about this point over the associated loads will be computed and printed to the .monpnt file.

Definitions

Field Contents SI Unit Example
NAME Character string of up to 8 characters identifying the monitor point.

No default (Character)
LABEL A character string that identifies and labels the monitor point.

Default = blank (Character, a maximum of 56 characters, fields 3 through 9)
AXES Component axes to monitor.

(Integer > 0, up to six unique digits (0 < digit ≤ 6) may be placed in the field with no embedded blanks)
COMP The name of an AECOMP or AECOMPL entry which defines the set of grid points over which the monitor point is defined.

No default (Character)
CP The identification number of a coordinate system in which the input (x,y,z) coordinates are defined.

Default = 0 (Integer ≥ 0)
X, Y, Z The coordinates in the CP coordinate system about which the loads are to be monitored.

Default = 0.0 (Real)

CD The identification number of a coordinate system in which the resulting load components are output.

Default = The coordinate system specified by the CP field (Integer ≥ 0)

Comments

  1. The MONPNT1 entry is supported for linear static and static aeroelastic analysis.
  2. The entry can create either be an aerodynamic or a structural MONPNT1, depending on the data provided in the COMP field. A structural MONPNT1 can have the same name as an aerodynamic MONPNT1, but two structural or two aerodynamic MONPNT1s cannot have the same name.
  3. The results requested by MONPNT1 entries will be printed to the .monpnt file.
