I/O Options and Subcase Information Entry Controls the printing of monitor point data to the .monpnt file, whenever monitor points (MONPT1/MONPNT2/MONPNT3) are defined in the model.

Format

MONITOR (nopnt1, nopnt2, nopnt3) = option

Example

MONITOR (NOPNT1) = ALL

MONITOR (NOPNT1, NOPNT2) = NONE

MONPNT2 results are included in the MONITOR point prints.
nopnt3 2 <NOPNT3, blank>
NOPNT3

Comments

  1. This entry is supported only for linear static and static aeroelastic analysis.
  2. NOPNT1, NOPNT2 and NOPNT3 options are available only for linear static analysis and will be ignored in static aeroelastic analysis.
  3. If a model has at least one load monitor point (MONPNT1/MONPNT2/MONPNT3) defined:
    • For linear static analysis, the .monpnt file will be generated only in the presence of the MONITOR I/O Option.
    • For static aeroelastic analysis, the .monpnt file will be generated automatically.
  4. The output is printed to the .monpnt ASCII file.
