Hi, 

I am running an acoustic analysis for a motor. While the analysis is running, it creates '. rs~'  files at the given location. The size of the files are so high that it took all 164GB space of my system and the analysis got failed. 

Is there any card of any other way by which we could limit these '. rs' files?

    Hi Mayur,

     

    This is because you don't have enough space to write scratch files. 

     

    Please use TMPDIR to allow solver write scratch files in a different bigger directory.

     

    Refer to this post about TMPDIR
