For Crashes on Windows and Linux/Ubuntu + Bonus Info
We have all been there: Ansys Mechanical has been solving a complex model for days, only to unexpectedly crash or fail with an error message. Upon checking the _ProjectScratch folder, you find a collection of fragmented files like file0.rst and file1.rst, but no combined file.rst result file.
Don’t panic. In this guide, we will demonstrate exactly how to manually combine these fragments into a single, usable result file and highlight the critical settings to watch out for along the way. As a bonus, we will also show you how to optimize your settings to save valuable disk space during the process.
