Particle tracks - exported file size
I'm tracking some particles from the inlet of my system to the outlet of the system. After I run the simulation, I "Export-->Particle History Data" and save a file of particle tracks.
My question is, how can I reduce this file size? Preferably by increasing the time step... I've played around with it in the DPM settings, but after I change the time step and re-run the simulation, the file size is the same. Any thoughts? |
You might be able to compress the files to reduce their size. See 4.1.5 in the fluent 6.3 user guide.

Compressing the files is not what my issue is... I process the data in another program after. When I open the particle track data in the second program, if there is too much data the program wont work.
I need to reduce the file size, not by compressing the output file, but by making it smaller by increasing the time step/reducing the number of points |
