Is is possible to suppress the writing of strength ratio data to the *.f06 file?

I have a model that becomes much, much slower to run when I enable strength ratio calculation (PARAM,SRCOMPS,YES), and I think it might be related to writing the data to *.fo6. It's a relative large model (100s of sub cases, ~50,000 elments, 100s of plies), so there is a lot of data to write, and I think saving it as text may be the problem. I don't have the same problem when the output data is saved in binary format exclusively, but I don't know how to continue that with strength ratio calculations.

    Did you try adding the "PLOT" option to the STRESS data request? Such as:
     
      STRESS(PLOT,SORT1,REAL,VONMISES,BILIN)=ALL
     
    I did a test in v2019 and this seems to suppress the strength ratio output (along with the stress and failure indices output).

    I was using the PLOT option, but I hadn't transitioned to v2019 yet. Following your suggestion I tried my model in v2019, and it seems to correct the issue.
     
    Thanks.
