*writefile

Syntax

*writefile filename do_not_write_stl

HyperMesh Tcl Modify

This command saves a binary HyperMesh database.

filename: The full path and filename of the database to save. If this file already exists, HyperMesh will prompt to overwrite the file.; When running in batch mode, *answer (for .cmf files) or hm_answernext (for Tcl scripts) must be used to specify a yes/no answer to this command when the file already exists.
do_not_write_stl: 0 - STL mesh is written to the file.; 1 - STL mesh is not written to the file. This results in a smaller database and faster write time.

To save the model to a file named mymodel.hm in the current working directory:

*writefile mymodel.hm 0

To save the model to a file named C:/mymodel.hm:

*writefile C:/mymodel.hm 0

To overwrite an existing file named C:/mymodel.hm:

hm_answernext yes
*writefile C:/mymodel.hm 0

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
