Saving a File

An RS2 file (*.fez filename extension) can be saved at any point during the modeling process, by selecting the Save option from the toolbar or the File menu.

File Types

By default, files are in a compressed format (*.fez). Alternatively, files can be saved in an uncompressed format (*.fea). This allows access to the following files in addition to the model.

• Compute files:
  • *.fea – Solid analysis
  • *.slw – Groundwater analysis
  • *.thl – Thermal analysis
• Engine files:
  • *.r# – Engine output stress files at each stage ( # represents the stage number)
  • *.u# – Engine output strain files at each stage
• Log files:
  • *.log – Solid analysis
  • *.low – Groundwater analysis
  • *.lot – Thermal analysis

Log Files in RS2 Scripting

If you are using RS2 Scripting, and would like to access *.log (solid), *.low (fluid), or *.lot (thermal) files for key parameters besides convergence, you can use the wrapper function extract_files_from_fez(). See the example here.
