Usually the mesh is exported as a mesh in 3D space, just as it is in Mesh module. The mesh can be exported as a mesh of a lower dimension in the following cases, provided that this check-box is checked: - - * **1D**: if all mesh nodes lie on OX coordinate axis. - * **2D**: if all mesh nodes lie in XOY coordinate plane. - -* :ref:`Save cell/node numbers to MED file ` preference controls whether node and cell numbers are saved. - -**See Also** a sample TUI Script of an :ref:`Export Mesh ` operation. - -
