+ Export the mesh in a memory representation.

+ Parameters:
+ auto_groups (boolean): parameter for creating/not creating

+ the typical use is auto_groups=False.
+ overwrite (boolean): parameter for overwriting/not overwriting the file
+ meshPart: a part of mesh (:class:`sub-mesh, group or filter <SMESH.SMESH_IDSource>`)
+ to export instead of the mesh
+ autoDimension: if *True* (default), a space dimension of a MED mesh can be either
+
+ - 1D if all mesh nodes lie on OX coordinate axis, or
+ - 2D if all mesh nodes lie on XOY coordinate plane, or
+ - 3D in the rest cases.
+
+ If *autoDimension* is *False*, the space dimension is always 3.
+ fields: list of GEOM fields defined on the shape to mesh.
+ geomAssocFields: each character of this string means a need to export a
+ corresponding field; correspondence between fields and characters
+ is following:
+
+ - 'v' stands for "_vertices_" field;
+ - 'e' stands for "_edges_" field;
+ - 'f' stands for "_faces_" field;
+ - 's' stands for "_solids_" field.
+
+ zTolerance (float): tolerance in Z direction. If Z coordinate of a node is
+ close to zero within a given tolerance, the coordinate is set to zero.
+ If *ZTolerance* is negative (default), the node coordinates are kept as is.
+ saveNumbers(boolean) : enable saving numbers of nodes and cells.
