Hi Guys,<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

I tried to implement store results at Last Time Point in my analysis but the output file remains 23.8GB so i don't believe it is working correctly.<\/p>\n

I will outline the process i followed below and i would appreciate any assistance,<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n

After reviewing previous posts particularly the one linked below i thought i understood that by using 'Last Time Point' i would only have results for the analysis at the end of the last step (2 steps in analysis). This i thought would reduce the size of my results file, 'file.rst', which i retrieve from the HPC i am using. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

This is not the case and 'file.rst' is 23.8Gb as shown in the 2nd image below.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The model is shown in the last image below. It is a concrete t-beam with reinforcement. It is neshed with a global size of 0.015m and has 73,752 nodes and 62,256 elements . In a previous model i used a global mesh size of 0.025m, which created 18,849 nodes and 13,612 elements , producing a results file of 2.6Gb in size. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

While i expected some increases in run time and size i did not expect it to get this big this fast. The purpose of the analysis is to check mesh refinement. <\/p>\n

I hope i have made this clear and look forward to any help, cheers.<\/p>\n
