Existing Design Study Files
After you select Start, Creo Simulate asks you one or both of the following questions:
• Do you want to delete any
output files that are already present for a previously run study? Before deleting these files, make sure that you do not need the data they contain. If in doubt, you can specify a different directory for output files for the current run or copy the design study to a new name. You can specify the directory for the output files using the
Run >
Settings menu option.
• Do you want to delete any temporary files located in the study.tmp directory (study is the name of the design study you selected)?
Creo Simulate automatically deletes temporary files when a run completes normally. If temporary files are still present, it means that a previous run of the same design study ended in error, was stopped before it completed, or is currently running.
If the files are left over from a previous run, you can safely delete them. If the design study is currently running, you should wait until it is finished before starting a new run.
