How to minimize the .f06 file size?
How to minimize the .f06 file size?
(OP)
I started a static analysis, with about 190000 elements. The output request is only displacements and stress for a group. There are about 70 cases.
The result is a .f06 file with about 10GB!!! Is there something that I can do to minimize the .f06 file size?
Is there some checks that I can do to the model, to avoid this output file size?
Thanks,

What are you doing with the. f06 file? reading it manually, or reading it into a post-processor? if the latter it is probably better to output the data into a binary file.

The massive files your generating are down to the amount of differing cases on the same run. Do a couple of runs will give you more files but smaller. Also maybe just running grouos of interest instead of a whole model will help.
