What are you modelling exactly? If you are using the same geometry and global parameters, and are not use optimization/parametric analysis, you might be able to achieve your goal in another way. When you're in the Option manager view it is possible to create multiple designs with the same case; right click a label above the +/-. Each design can have its own set of option choices. Thus, you can have more than 20 fixed permutations of a model in the same file.

  • This is not immediately obvious, but discoverable if you ever select multiple points from the results graph and exporting them to a new case. You get one new case, with a design for each point.
