Export large files to matlab

[fg]

Hi,

I am trying to export to MATLAB a field from the overall field that is larger than 6GB and it fails. The smaller, 2.5GB or less, fields are working fine. The error says 'unable to write file' but in the folder the file exists and has a size assigned. When I try to open it in matlab the .mat file is empty.

this is a multiport simulation that is combined.

Is there a file size limit with the matlab explorer?

Hi,
There is a file size limit with the MATLAB exporter but it will be improved. In the mean time, you might

• use a smaller field sensor than the overall field and try to limit the size of the field of view to the volume of interest only
  or
• export to Cache instead of MATLAB. This is an HDF5 file. You can use multiple libraries and functions in MATLAB to import an HDF5 file. This format can handle very large data files.
