  Hi, could you please advise why the rest file can be so heavy, 45 GB?
  
  Can the reason be mesh? Or that it is transient? The cases for 4 point lift,upending have smaller weight.
  
  Thank you for help

  You probably have a lot of points of results. Reduce the "Minimum Substeps" or Output Controls - from "All Time Points" parameter to another option.

  MTBXC has the right approach, reduce the number of output time points. Doing that you could reduce the file size by a factor of 10.
  
  You can cut the result file almost in half if you turn off output of Strain and only output Stress and Deflection.
