It is sometimes convenient to reduce the size of files by deleting results. It is tedious to have to do this manually so the Tools > Delete results from files menu command is provided to do this. This allows the user to select a set of files from which the results are to be deleted. This option is only available when there is no GSA model open.
There are two file backup systems that are in operation while a model is open in GSA: the manual backup and the timed backup. Both systems result in a temporary copy of the model (input data and results) being preserved in the Oasys temporary folder in GWB file format.
It is possible for files to be left in a locked state if GSA terminated in an abnormal manner. In such a situation the file can be unlocked prior to use with the Tools > Unlock file menu command. This option is only available when there is no GSA model open.
