Comments

  1. Monitoring results via the MONITOR entry are output to the <filename>.monitor and <filename>_ld.monitor files.
  2. The <filename>.monitor and <filename>_ld.monitor files are output by default for any nonlinear analysis; however, the displacement results for a particular DOF are output only if the MONITOR Bulk Data and Subcase Information Entries are specified.
