Hi all,
I am fairly new to Ansys but I have been working with Nastran and Abaqus for many years.
One thing that struck me when I started to work with Ansys is that it produce enormous results files.
As of yesterday I computed normal modes 150 ea. for a model with 1.2E6 elements. The results file (.rst) I got from that analysis were of the size 208 GB which I think is almost ridiculous. So my question to you all is: how can I reduce the size of, especially, the .rst file? Is it possible for me to force Ansys to write e.g. only displacements and von Mises to the .rst file? And, will the size of the .rst file decrease accordingly?
Any help in this matter would be highly appreciated.
Live Long and Prosper !
