<div class = "body conbody">
<p>After the optimization loop has been completed, the directory job name is
cleaned up. First, all unnecessary files are deleted. The configuration files
determine which files and in what scope (for example, <code class = "ph codeph">NEVER</code>,<code class = "ph codeph">FIRST_LAST</code> or <code class = "ph codeph">EVER</code>)
files are saved or deleted. Different decisions for
<code class = "ph codeph">“wildcards”</code> can be made in the configuration files (copy, delete etc.). Further
details can be found in the specification of the <code class = "ph codeph">DRIVER</code> command.</p>

<div class = "section" id = "tso-c-usr-control-completion__tso-c-user-control-completion-Directories"><h2 class = "title sectiontitle">Directories and Files after the Completion of Optimization </h2>

<p>The user has a wide range of files for evaluation after optimization has been
completed, including the complete model of the initial design and a complete
model of the optimized design. Files with additional information are created
that serve for the quick evaluation of the optimization.
Following subdirectories of the <code class = "ph codeph">jobname</code> directory are created:
</p>
<ul class = "ul">
<li class = "li"><code class = "ph codeph">SAVE.ext</code>: contains the database of the optimization program. It is only needed if a restart is required in topology optimization.</li>
<li class = "li"><code class = "ph codeph">TOSCA_POST</code>: Contains the files for post-processing the optimization results. In addition, the protocol file <code class = "ph codeph">TOSCA.OUT</code> can be found in this directory. 
The results of <span class = "ph">Tosca Structure.smooth</span> are normally saved in this directory as well.</li>
</ul>
The protocol file <code class = "ph codeph">TOSCA.OUT</code> is copied to the directory <code class = "ph codeph">TOSCA_POST</code> after
the optimization has been successfully completed. If the optimization stopped
due to an error, the logfile is copied into the directory <code class = "ph codeph">DB_ERROR</code>.
