Set up the solver to output transient results file to analyze the imposed mesh
motion values. The transient blade row analysis type offers the Fourier
compression method of storing transient periodic data.

You will set up three types of monitor points for this simulation. Firstly,
you will create a set of monitor points to monitor variables at specific
cylindrical coordinates within the domain. Cylindrical coordinates are
useful in turbomachinery applications because they allow you to place
monitor points with the same relative position inside different passages
by shifting the theta component by the equivalent passage pitch. Next,
you will create a second set of monitor points to monitor the values of
expressions. Finally, you will create a third set of monitor points to
monitor aerodynamic damping.
