Hello,

Is it possible to stop a Radioss run, change the frequency for animation files in /ANIM/DT in the engine file and restart the run?

Will this improve the run time?

Thank you in advance!

    Yes, you can use different animation /ANIM/DT in a restart run.

    Reducing the frequency of recording may have benefit if you are saving lots of data on each animation.

     

    I hope this is helpful.

    Regards

    Thank you, Rogerio!

    Could you quantify "lots of data" on each animation? At the moment each animation file I have is 89845 KB.

    Regards
