Excluding Built, Computed, and Plotted Data
Right-click Study 1 () and select Compute () to solve the model. When the computation finishes after a few seconds, the von Mises stress is displayed in a default Volume plot in the Graphics window.
Storing simulation data generated by a model can require a large amount of disk space usage. For such data that is reproducible — such as built, computed, and plotted data — it may be undesirable, or even impossible due to sheer size, to save it in the database.
1
Select the root node in the Model Builder window.
2
In the Settings window, under Built, computed, and plotted data in the Save section, select Exclude in the In database list. You can leave the On file list as is.
3
From the File menu, select Save as Version ().
The Save window opens for your database with the message Built, computed, and plotted data is excluded from the save shown in the Information section.
4
Write Saved without generated simulation data in the Comments field.
5
Click Save ().
The model remains in its solved state in the COMSOL Desktop after the save. Go to the File menu, select Revert to Saved (), and click Yes in the dialog box that appears. The latest saved version is opened. You can reproduce the, by now, lost solution by right-clicking Study 1 () and selecting Compute ().
