I created a project in Ansys Workbench and tried running a FEM simulation in Static Structural module. In the middle of simulation, I get the error in attached image and simulation stops.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I suspect the issue is with the way Ansys saves files and the available storage space. While I may be wrong, it seems like Ansys is not overwriting old files after running a simulation, but instead stores all files, meaning after I run simulation several times my disk space reaches full capacity. I tried cleaning the temporary files, but it does not help. It seems like Ansys is saving a bunch of stuff in unclear location and then does not delete old files (maybe saves too many backup versions?).&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Also,when closing the project I get a pop-up saying :The database failed to save while closing the Mechanical application. There is not enough space on the disk&#8221;.&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-392794","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-ansysworkbench-ansys-staticstructural","topic-tag-error","topic-tag-mechanical","topic-tag-storage"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["478242","3937","506361"],"_bbp_author_ip":["2001:6b0:1:1041:cd4e:b2bc:1ed6:20cd"],"_btv_view_count":["212"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_edit_last":["478242"],"_bbp_revision_log":["a:1:{i:392797;a:2:{s:6:\"author\";i:478242;s:6:\"reason\";s:0:\"\";}}"],"_bbp_topic_id":["392794"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27796"],"_bbp_engagement":["3937","478242","506361"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["2"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["406712"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["406712"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2025-01-23 03:45:53"]},"test":"viliusvkth-se"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/392794","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/392794\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":392797,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/392794\/revisions\/392797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=392794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
