output file size limit

[corus]

I'm creating an Abaqus input deck using visual basic 6.0 where temperatures are read from an external text file and a .inp file is output with all nodes and elements predefined. In the example I am testing there are over 200,000 nodes but the program crashes with an error saying end of file when reading in the temperatues. Looking at the output file though it appears to stop writing to the .inp file before it has read in all the temperatures. The program works when testing it on a larger mesh with fewer nodes though. I think that there must therefore be a problem with the size of the output file it is writing to. Is there a limit on the size of file you can either read or write to within a visual basic 6 application, not withstanding the disc space available?

If you haven't solved this yet. (didn't see this until tonight)

Are you sure its not loading up your machine's memory with the data.

Try reading a batch of nodes and writing a batch of nodes, then do it again. Don't load all 200,000 nodes at the same time.

What's the size of the files (MB)?
