I am trying to figure out how to store SolidWorks simulation data that can be referenced later without the huge files sizes.
I can save edrawing files as well as the .cwr files, but those are massive files, so i don't want to store those in SolidWorks Enterprise PDM and don't want to fill up our network with these either.
Does anyone have any suggestions for simlation file management?
Thanks,
Clark
I've found compressing the .cwr files in to .zip archives can save around 40% per file, which seems like a lot of gain for not a lot of time. I haven't yet experienced any corruption issues when unpacking the files for future use either.
Aside from that, maybe invest in some external hard drives and/or a Blu-ray burner.
