Hi all,nI’m running FSI simulations of abdominal aortic aneurysms using Ansys Mechanical and Fluent. My simulations are quite long, so I decided to create restart points every 5 timesteps. In total, my simulation takes 1200 timesteps, so this results in a huge amount of restart files, which requires a huge amount of memory. Ofcourse, I can also choose to create restart points every 10 or 20 timesteps, but then I might need to redo a part of the simulation if a crash occurs. nTherefore, I was wondering if it’s possible to only save the files of the last (or last 5 for example) restart point. In Fluent, I know that you can set a maximum to the number of automatic exports. If the maximum is reached, the first export is deleted before the current export is written out. I was wondering if a similar command is available in System Coupling, but couldn’t find it online.nThanks in advance!n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-50249","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-fsi-simulation","topic-tag-memory","topic-tag-restart-points","topic-tag-system-coupling"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
