Too large Patran db file
Too large Patran db file
(OP)
Hello all,
I am working with a big Patran model of around 160MB. The problem is that the more I work with it, sending different load cases to analyze or modifying it, the bigger it gets. I cannot understand why because the model is always the same, I haven't increased the number of elements so, in my logical, its size should not change.
Now its size is 350MB and that makes my computer much more slower so is there any way to reduce the .db file?
Thanks in advance.

jeram123, I tried what you said and the file size reduces but not as much as it should, comparing with the original one.
However, I also tried your solution, compositecurves, and it worked really well. The new .db file is almost the half of the previous!!
Once the problem is solved, could anyone explain me why do it happened?

Then your model needs to be compressed.
Importing a.db in a new one will remove all of the empty space and reduce the size of your model file.
