Heavy model, slow operation

[Anonymous]

Hello, I'm currently designing a steel framed building. The model is made up from 403 bars, 4 slab panels, and 996 nodes after meshing. I have 35 analysis cases, which include 1 modal case and 2 spectral analysis cases. The problem i'm hvaing is that my model file is extremely heavy (around 800MB) which is quite unsual, and in consequence, the model is extremely slow when I try to visualize results or when I try to modify anything.

Why is this happening?

It's pretty heavy so you have to be patient :P.

Open file in repair mode.

Additionally: please activate saving results on exteral file or at least save them in such way when program asks.

Save file from time to time using "save as" under new file name.
