You can control the amount of results data stored in the simulation results file, reducing the file size and improving the loading speed, especially for transient analysis.
Enhancements in storing results include:
- Having the option not to store the stress and strain results in the result file (*.CWR) for static studies.
In the Result Options PropertyManager, clear Stresses and strains under Quantities to save into file. Only displacement and body force results are calculated and stored in the results file.
The default option for the solver is to calculate and store all the results.
- Having the option to save results only for selected solution steps for thermal transient studies.
In the Result Options PropertyManager, select For specified solutions steps. Set the first and last solution step, and step increment for the desired solution step set.
You can still save results for all solution steps for vertices and reference points stored in sensors, under Locations for Graphs.
