Hello - I am running several thousand Abaqus/explicit analysis runs and am only interested in the resulting .fil file. I don't want to save the .odb, .res, .stt, .pes (so on) files. Does anyone know of a way to suppress the creation of those files or automatically delete those after the run completion? I want to run up to 50 jobs at once, so I can't manually delete those after the run. I want to do a single launch of all the runs, and I want the program to clean up after itself, basically. Thank you!
 
You can suppress the field output (by setting its frequency to 0). It will reduce the amount of data being written to output files and thus decrease their size significantly but you will still get several files for each analysis. But you could write a Python script to automatically delete the unnecessary files.
