Rocksim made 185Gb of files....

So last night before I went to bed I decided to up the simulation step size from the usual 800 to ~100 million.

The result: My computer was non-functional this morning.

After looking into it, it appears that RockSim makes a set of "sim files" in the Users/AppData directory. there were a TON of little files that added up to 185Gb!!!

So, If you ever want a crazy RS sim step size, have a gargantuan hard drive. Also putting this here in case someone else does the same thing and can't find out why they have no hard drive space anymore.

Why the heck did you want a step size 10^5 smaller than it already was? =p

I made it bigger. I replaced the number 800 with 100 million..... Haha

It's mislabeled; you made the number of steps bigger, and the step size smaller, by 10^5. But why?

Out of sheer curiosity...
