Edit Field Output Request to reduce computing time/ file size?
(OP)
Hello,
I'm relatively new to ABAQUS so my knowlegde is really limited. I'm trying to do a simple upsetting simulation with a dynamic explicit step. My problem is that the simulation takes days to finish and in the end aborts because of insufficient disk space (the simulation takes up to 150GB's plus). I already tried to experiment with the mass scaling factor but that always ended up in aborting the simulation. Does editing the field/ history output request help reduce the file size and minimize the computing time?
Thanks in advance!

I have seen some fairly significant file I/O time decreases by reducing what gets written to the ODB. The time of the actual computation of the problem appears to stay the same though as you've said
