Specializing output files

Specializing output files

Specializing output files

(OP)
Hello everybody
I want ABAQUS produces only ".msg" files after running models. I'm running a lot of models by a batch file and you know I need just msg files not other files and some of them will occupy too much space like odb files which lead me to some trouble. I'm using a code like this How can modify it? Any help or suggestion greatly appreciated.
***********************************************************************************
echo off
set /p counter=Enter your first file number: %=%
set /p endFiNu=Enter your last file number: %=%

:loop
IF %counter% gtr %endFiNu% GOTO END
echo File Number: %counter%
call abaqus j=%counter% memory="8000" cpus=7 -seq
SET /a counter=%counter%+1
GOTO LOOP
:end
***********************************************************************************

Thanks. You know I want to find the maximum internal pressure that some pipes (with different characteristics) can undergo before collapsing and I just need the step time in which the analysis has stopped by exceeding the predefined minimum increment which can be found in the msg file. you I don't need necessarily the odb file to deleted during running, maybe after a run. You know, sometimes when I come back to my computer after 2 or 3 days some I see only 300 models(for example)out of 1000 models have been analysed because the computer had not more free space for the remaining analysis.

Oh I simply did it. just adding these line in my code:
ECHO Y | DEL *%counter%.dat*
ECHO Y | DEL *%counter%.inp*
ECHO Y | DEL *%counter%.com*
ECHO Y | DEL *%counter%.odb*
ECHO Y | DEL *%counter%.prt*
ECHO Y | DEL *%counter%.sim*
ECHO Y | DEL *%counter%.sta*
ECHO Y | DEL *%counter%.log*
