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 about which to sum.

No default (Integer > 0, up to six unique digits (0 < digit ≤ 6) may be placed in the field with no embedded blanks)
GRIDSET Identification number of a SET1 Bulk Data Entry which has a list of grids to be included in the monitored point.

No default (Integer)
ELEMSET Identification number of a SET1 Bulk Data Entry which has a list of elements to be included in the monitored point.

Default = blank (Integer)
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 forces are to be summed.

Default = 0.0 (Real)

XFLAG Exclusion flag. Exclude the indicated grid point force types from the summation at the monitor point.
S
SPC Forces
M
MPC Forces
A, L, or P
Applied Loads

Default = Blank (no type excluded)
CD The identification number of a coordinate system in which the results are output.

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

Comments

  1. The MONPNT3 entry is available for static aeroelastic analysis.
  2. If ELEMSET is blank, no contributions are made from the set of elements attached to the grid.
  3. Fictitious grids or elements do not produce error or warning messages.
