I’m running thousand of calculix cases in the cluster. All of the screen output info about convergence is written in one file but it becomes very large after hundreds of them being input and slower to write in. Is there any method to suppress the convergence info screen output?

Thanks.

This will suppress all output:

`./ccx deck >> /dev/null 2>&1`

If you just want convergence related stuff then probably will need to edit the source code and recompile.
