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 |
