  Hello everyone,
  on my Server there is verry little free disc storage space left (14 GB). My "MAPDL Solution FIle Size" is smaller than this (5GB) and after solving i can export the results and free up the storage space. The problem is now that i dont know what "MAPDL Memory Used" stands for exactly in the details view of "solution" branch, does this specify the maximum RAM usage during the solution process? The Mechanical Help Guide gives no futher Information about this topic.
  Help would be appreciated, because my "MAPDL Memory Used" exceeds the 14 GB disc storage space left. But there is enough RAM on my System.
  Im using Mechanical (Workbench 2021 R1).
  Kind regards
  Milan

  Hi Milan
  Yes, that is the maximum memory (RAM) used during the solution. Of all processes - not all processes may have used their maximum at the same time.
