Delete option inside Hyperview / File size reduction

Altair Forum User

Is there a delete option inside Hyperview?

 

I have very huge system with lots of components but i will be evaluating only few components. 

So i just want to delete some components as including them results is bad performance (system).

 

In component browser there is Delete option but it is not active.

 

Or 

 

How to reduce the output file (here it is op2)

The op2 being handled here is of 7GB size, how to reduce it without effecting the results.

Hi Manju,

 

Op2 is not a native output file of OptiStruct but of Nastran.

 

Traditionally Op2 files require huge disk as they are not compressed. We suggest you to output the results in .h3d format which is a native output file of OptiStruct.

 

H3D files are super compressed and typically takes few Mbs against few Gbs of Op2

 

Thanks,
