      The command “file/data-file-options” will add the variables to export to standard list. So it will increase data file size. To export the required varaibles, please use File –> Export –> Solution Data option. For transient export you can use File –> Export –> During Calculation –> Solution Data. The corresponding TUI commands are /file/export and /file/transient-export.
