Save, Save, Save! Setting up a Save after Solution in ANSYS Mechanical

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Is this the reaction you have when you come in on Monday morning, and realize that another Windows update has, once again, rebooted your PC before you had a chance to save the 30-hour run that should have finished over the weekend? There a Workbench setting that can help relieve some of that stress.

The “Save Project After Solution” option will save the entire project as soon as the solution has finished. So when your model runs for 30 hours over the weekend, it gets saved before a Windows update shuts everything down.  These settings are persistent, so once you’ve changed them to ‘Yes’, then you are all set for next time. You just need to make sure that you change them for each ANSYS version if you have more than one installed.

Now on to my next blog… “How to recover a run if you forgot to change the settings above.” (Grumble Grumble!)
