Multiple FRD files instead one file

Hi everyone,

I am running a thermal analysis, and sometimes the FRD file becomes very large. I am considering modifying the solver so that it writes multiple FRD files, perhaps every 10 increments or something similar.

What would be the implications of this change? Do you have any suggestions?

Maybe you could use *RESTART to split the analysis into stages (steps). Also consider reducing the amount and frequency of field output being requested.

If none of these suggestions work for you, I would rather try writing a small script to split your frd file at the end than modify the code.
