Reduction of size of mpco file

Dear Team,

Is there any way to reduce the size of output files. I am running the multiple time history analysis of the structure and my output data(mpco) exceed 4TB for 40 couples of ground motion records.
In my MPCO Recorder, I have selected only the required output results.

Regards,
Zeeshan Bhat

Yes, you can either define the record frequency and not save all the steps, or also define a region of elements/nodes to save. This will optimize your output size.
