Output .dat before the database batch .odb

Output .dat before the database batch .odb

(OP)
Hello all,
I am iteratively solving a relatively simple FEA in Abaqus. In one iteration, , it takes about 0.3 sec for the job itself to be completed, however then I have to wait approx. 3 more sec for the files to be closed and written into a directory. All I need is to get the data file .dat as soon as possible. Does anyone know how to get this file without having to wait for the whole database to be closed?
Many thanks.

RE: Output .dat before the database batch .odb

You could always reduce the amount of data written to the .dat file or you can write specific data you need to another file you can specify. But is 3.3 seconds too long to wait these days?

It is not a question of reducing data in the .dat file but getting this file before the whole database .odb. Do you know anything about it?
Say you run the FEA 1000 times, then it makes a big difference if you have to wait for each iteration for 3.3 seconds or 0.3 seconds.
Thanks
