Large Size of Plot_Data_Elem file

I am getting very large Plot_Data_Eleme output file (20 GB). Is it normal? Is it possible to get this file only for certain time interval instead of all time steps?

    No it is not normal to get Plot Data Elem file in  10-20GB size. The size actually depends on parameters used in your simulation file

    If you attach your file here, then i can take a look

      SM Its difficult to exactly decode the reason from looking only at this  part of the file. 

      However, it seems you have a very large end time,  3.154E+97

      and you are writing at least 19 time instants to Plot_data_elem file. so i guess the reason lies elsewhere in your file.
