can the Storage limit be increased?

I am currently running some simulations and I would like to know if the storage for the ddscat tool be increased to 5 GB. This would allow more detailed simulations to be obtained.

    Can you please give some more information on a simulation that requires this? It would be useful if we can reproduce the results.

    Thanks.

    DDSCAT has been updated since this question was posted, Remote simulations now use less memory than previously when requesting a Nearfield generating simulation (this is typically the most storage-intensive type of simulation).



    In detail, Remote simulations send out only a Nearfield calculation for the wavelength with the greatest Light Extinction value. Local runs of DDSCAT will still inefficiently calculate a Nearfield at every wavelength, thus generating a lot of storage usage.



     



    This may resolve your issue with DDSCAT, alternatively you can send a Ticket to request more storage space from the Nanohub administrative team.

    Default storage options have been increased when performing a simulation using nanoDDSCAT.



    Additionally, the user will now be notified before simulating if they do not have enough space (and how much more space they need).
