Saving only last step in RST file

[germa89]

Hi @Rfaelv @PProfizi @germa89 Yes MAPDL, and so PyMAPDL, can be set up to only write the last substep of each load step to the result file during a solution; this is actually the default behavior of MAPDL. Please see the help on the OUTRES command: PyMAPDL doc page on OUTRES MAPDL Public Doc page on OUTRES

Now if you have an result file that you want to delete result sets from, you can do this in the /AUX3 processor. Its command DELETE sets which result set to delete, then the command COMPRESS actuall deletes the data from the file. FILEAUX3 sets the result file to be operated on. Please see the public MAPDL help page here on the command grouping, and review all of the individual command pages. Then maybe try a test on a sample model to get the hang of the procedure.
