For the 3D calculation, I did a simulation with autosave every 10 steps but it takes a lot of memory. Is there a way to avoid saving everything and therefore limit the storage capacity (specify variables or time steps to save)

Hello,

You can do a couple of things:

• Make sure you check the option where you are saving only the data file (case file will be saved only when it is altered).
• You can click on Data Quantities (image from R19.1) and you can pick the variables you want to save.
• You can also write your case and data files in .cas.gz and .dat.gz format. These are compressed case and data files and can potentially save space.

I hope this helps.

Best,

Karthik

Please, how do i activate autosave function in ANSYS CFX? I want to see my results for every iteration. Thank you in anticipation of your response and solution to my problem.n
