Too much data

[arjEngineer]

Hello,

I'm working on a modal time history analysis of a 42 span bridge. I would like to be able to view all the forces in the columns, for all the time histories, step by step, and not in envelope form. Because of the number of column frame elements and the lengths of the time histories, there will be approximately 15 million rows of data. I can't seem to figure out a way to get this data from CSI bridge. I get an error when I try to display tables, and also when I try to export the data to a text file. Any good ideas on how to get the data without having to break up the results would be very much appreciated!

Thanks,
AJ

SAP V15 and CSI bridge are not familiar to me. I use SAP V14.
But according to this

You could use CSiBridge OAPI from Matlab, Excel, C#, etc. and then:
- Selectively get the results, a few elements at the time.
- Dispose the fields you do not need.
- Put all together the way you need in Excel, text files, mat files, etc.
