Altair Monarch

The new Altair Monarch connector allows for the retrieval and processing of data from Altair Monarch Project files (DPRJ or XPRJ), Model files (DMOD or XMOD), Report Files (DAT, PRN, RPT, TXT, PDF, or XPS), and Export files (DWX).

These project files have the saved references to the input file(s) and the model file as well as the active filter, sort order, summary, and view(s) defined in Altair Monarch.

The model files contain definitions and settings that you can apply during a Monarch session. A model includes data extraction template definitions, filters, calculated fields, external lookup definitions, sort order, summary definitions, field names, and field properties.

The DWX file is the exported table or summary data in Monarch for Panopticon Designer (Desktop).

 

IMPORTANT: The Altair Monarch connector is only available with the Desktop Edition of Panopticon Designer. In order to publish Monarch-based visualizations to the Panopticon Visualization Server, the Monarch Server Content connector and Content Server are required. For more information, contact your sales representative. You may refer to the list in the Copyrights page.
