Hello,

Is it possible to turn off autosave after solving a project? I am running flux2D in server mode, and would like to save time by turning off the autosaving.

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Ruud,

     

    It is possible to change the save options from Solving>Solving process options>Edit

    Then in the Edit Solving process options window under Advanced, you can choose the Project saving frequency.

    Hi Alexandru,

     

    Thanks for your reply. Do I understand correctly that I can only set the saving conditions, but I cannot switch it off completely?

    To clarify the issue, I have implemented something similar to the frozen permeability solving:

    • I solve only one time step of the model at a time
    • After each step, I change the material properties using the 'changeMater' command
    • I then create another time step and solve it
    • This process is repeated until all time steps are done

    At the moment, Flux performs a save operation after each single time step, which is not good for speed. Hence, I would like to turn off the automatic saving altogether and only save manually (or by script command) after all the time steps are done.

    Best regards,

    Ruud

    Hi Ruud,

     

    There is not a option to turn off the saving, but you can try the option Save to N minutes, where you put a very high value. I think that in your case this option is good.
