Convert to Chunk |
If the rplt (RecurDyn/Plot file) have many components and the number of data are huge, the draw performance would be pool. Because when getting data from plot data, the read data speed performance depends on file size and number of components. The Chunk file can improve this performance issue for big size and large components of rplt file. |
