    Assuming I plan on reviewing the results in the Pro/E results viewer,
    is there a speed difference between binary and ascii format?

    Is on prefered? Seems like binary is the default.

    Dear Pete,

    You should only use ASCII format if you're going to post-process the
    results. It will take longer to read in the results when viewing and they'll
    take up 4-5 times as much space on your hard-drive.
