_ld.monitor file
The _ld.monitor file is an OptiStruct ASCII format results file.
File Creaction
This file is created by default for any nonlinear run (similar to the .monitor file).
File Contents
This file contains, for each nonlinear subcase, a table of the maximum translational displacement for all grids (magnitude only) vs the load factor.

- Displacement
- The maximum translational displacement of all grids (only magnitude).
- Load Factor
- This value is different from the Time Step or Time Increment. The load factor is the subcase time normalized to the range of 0.0 to 1.0. The Load Factor is also printed in the .monitor file. The _ld.monitor file can be considered as a concise version of the .monitor file.
