Then look for folder(s) named &#8216;agptmpXXX&#8217;, where &#8216;XXX&#8217; is the version of DM used.  In that folder is an AutoSave folder with the auto-saved DM databases.  So for V18.2, for example, the folder is &#8216;%temp%agptmp182AutoSave&#8217;.  You can find the latest file, make a copy somewhere, strip the auto save number off the extension, then open that in DM.  Each autosave creates a new file with an incremental number on the extension.  So the first is name.agdb-00, then name.agdb-01, etc.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-171005","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-18-2","topic-tag-designmodeler","topic-tag-fluid-dynamics","topic-tag-general"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_wp_page_template":["default"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2\/6\/2023 20:20"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27796"],"_bbp_author_ip":["209.182.204.162"],"_btv_view_count":["7127"],"siebel_km_number":["2051312"],"product_version":["18.2"],"km_published_date":["2017-09-18T00:00:00.000Z"],"family":["Fluid Dynamics"],"application_name":["DesignModeler"]},"test":"articlesansys-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/171005","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/171005\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/knowledge\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=171005"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
