Hello everyone,

I am dealing with the VOF model with multiple inlets and multiple outlets.

I have given 4000 iterations and an Auto-save option with 5 iterations per each time.

It occupied a space of 1.75TB(Terra Bytes), which is too high for disk-space.

Please share your ideas and suggestions if possible?

Thank you
Kolkundi Rajesh

You have 3 options:
1) reduce the amount of variables written to disk (IIRC, the autosave option in Fluent stores pretty much every possible variable by default)
2) increase the write interval
3) if 1+2 are not an option for you: buy more storage

I can hardly see why it could be necessary to write auto-saves every 5 Iterations. You would probably only need an interval in time steps, unless you are doing some kind of debugging.

Hello Alex,

Thanks for the reply.

I would rather go with option 1 or 2.

Have a good day
Raj
