Dear All,

I have set up an analysis in which I run multiple .comm files sequentially. Every file loads a previous .base folder, take results from an EVOL_NOLI result object (by extracting displacements, stresses and state variables at the last step), DESTROYS the previous result file and run a new analysis (with the same name as the analysis destroyed). In this way, I will end up with multiple independent .base folders and I can extract the results whenever I need it.
The problem is that, although I use DETRUIRE command, the new base seems to contain the old result as well, and thus the size of the .base folders increases exponentially. To solve the problem I have tried to eliminate the dependencies before destroying. This is the code:

depl = CREA_CHAMP (
OPERATION='EXTR',
NOM_CHAM = 'DEPL' , TYPE_CHAM = 'NOEU_DEPL_R',
RESULTAT = RES ,
INST = first_time
);

sigm = CREA_CHAMP (
OPERATION='EXTR',
NOM_CHAM = 'SIEF_ELGA' , TYPE_CHAM = 'ELGA_SIEF_R',
RESULTAT = RES ,
INST = first_time
);

vari = CREA_CHAMP (
OPERATION='EXTR',
NOM_CHAM = 'VARI_ELGA' , TYPE_CHAM = 'ELGA_VARI_R',
RESULTAT = RES ,
INST = first_time
);

RES.clear()
DETRUIRE(NOM = RES);

RES=STAT_NON_LINE(
ETAT_INIT=_F(
SIGM=sigm,
VARI=vari,
DEPL=depl,
),
...);
depl.resetDependencies()
vari.resetDependencies()
sigm.resetDependencies()
DETRUIRE(NOM = (depl, vari, sigm));

The problem is only partially solved, since the growth is now continuous but not exponential:

 du -sh *base

1,3G    1970.base

At the end of each .mess file I see:
