Transient conduction can create large data files since by default, ANSYS stores temperature values at all nodes at each time step. This can result in a large data files if you have a lot of nodes and/or time steps. When saving your project, you can create small data files using the trick shown in the following video.

When saving your project, use the .wbpz format and don't save results as discussed above. This will ensure a small project file.
