MONSUMT
Bulk Data Entry Defines a new monitor result that is the sum of existing monitor results.
The existing monitor points do not need to be the same type but must be of a similar type. The results are printed to the .monpnt file.

Definitions
| 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) |
|
| AXIS | The component axis of the newly created monitor point into
which the summed quantity is stored. (Integer > 0, up to six unique digits (0 < digit ≤ 6) may be placed in the field with no embedded blanks) |
|
| 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) |
|
| MTYPEij | Monitor type to be merged. No default (AMONONT1, SMONONT1, MONPNT3) |
|
| NAMEij | Name of the monitored quantity that is summed. |
Comments
- The LABEL is a 56 character string that should be unique.
- The result of the MONSUMT entry is to create new
monitor point(s)
as:Where,
- Result from the monitor points being summed.
- Set of partial rigid body vectors for the locations of the monitor points being summed, with the origin at the X, Y, Z location.
- 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=AMONPNT1 designates aerodynamic, while SMONPNT1 designates a structural monitor point.
- If multiple types are specified on a MONSUMT, the resulting entry is of a type that appears on the MONSUMT with the following order of precedence: SMONPNT1 (structural MONPNT1), MONPNT3, AMONPNT1 (aerodynamic MONPNT1). For example, an AMONPNT1 (aerodynamic MONPNT1) and a MONPNT3 appearing on the same entry results in a MONPNT3 regardless of which appears first. If the NEWAXISj field indicates a single output, the AXISij fields must reference a single input, but it can be any value from 1 to 6. There may be as many as 6 AXISij and COEFij for each referenced NAMEij.
