MONSUM1

The existing monitor points do not need to be of the same type but must be of a similar type. The results are printed to the .monpnt file.

Field	Contents	SI Unit Example
`NAME`	Character string identifying the monitor point. No default (Character, a maximum of 8 characters)
`LABEL`	A character string that identifies and labels the monitor point. Default = blank (Character, a maximum of 56 characters, fields 3 through 9)
`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 monitored. Default = 0.0 (Real)
`CD`	The identification number of a coordinate system in which the resulting load components are output. Default = Coordinate system specified by the `CP` field (Integer > 0)
`NEWAXISj`	The component axis of the newly created monitor point into which the summed quantity is scored. (Integer > 0, up to six unique digits (0 < digit ≤ 6) may be placed in the field with no embedded blanks)
`MTYPEij`	Monitor type to be merged. No default (AMONONT1, AMONDSP1, SMONONT1, SMONDSP1)
`NAMEij`	Name of the monitored quantity to be merged.
`AXESij`	Component axis to be summed. (Integer > 0, up to six unique digits (0 < digit ≤ 6) may be placed in the field with no embedded blanks)
`COEFij`	Coefficient to be applied to the components called out on `AXESij` field. Default = 1.0 (Integer > 0)

The LABEL is a 56 character string that should be unique. The result of the MONSUM1 entry is to create new monitor points as:
$M O N S U M_{j} = \sum_{i}^{n} C O E F_{i j} M R_{i j}$
The merged monitor points must be of a similar type. "Similar" types are defined as:
- Force and moment summation monitor points: AMONPNT1, SMONPNT1, MONPNT3.
For MONPNT1s, the MTYPij can be aerodynamic or structural. MTYPij = AMONPT1 designates aerodynamic while SMONPNT1 designates a structural monitor point.
If multiple components are to be summed, the NEWAXISj field must be the union of subsequent AXESij fields. If the subsequent AXESij field is blank, the components are the same as NEWAXISj.
If the NEWAXISj field indicates a single output, the AXESij fields must reference a single input, but it can be any value from 1 to 6. There may be as many as 6 AXESij and COEFij for each referenced NAMEij.
The same component cannot be referenced multiple times on the NEWAXISj field for a single MONSUM1 entry.
If multiple types are specified on a MONSUM1, the resulting entry is of a type that appears on the MONSUM1 with the following order of precedence: SMONPNT1 (structural MONPNT1), MONPNT3, AMONPNT1 (aerodynamic MONPNT1) , AMONDSP1. For example, an AMONPNT1 and a MONPNT3 appearing on the same entry results in a MONPNT3 regardless of which appears first.
The CP, CD and X, Y, Z location coordinates are for reference only and do not affect the calculation.
