export_type
Flag indicating which entities will be output:
  • 0 - Only the displayed entities will be output.
  • 1 - All entities will be output.
  • 2 - Entities will be output based on their/their parent collector’s output bit (custom output). This bit can be set using the *allsuppressoutput, *includesuppressoutput and *setvaluecommands or using the Entity State Browser.
string_array
The string array ID that contains the additional output parameters. The string array is created using the *createstringarray command. This should always be set to 1.
number_of_strings
Integer indicating the size (number of strings) in the string array created using *createstringarray. The valid strings are documented as subtopics for *feoutputwithdata.

Example

To export all entities in the include with ID 10, using the OptiStruct template, to a file named C:/temp/myinclude.fem, skipping the export of connectors:

set template [hm_info -appinfo SPECIFIEDPATH TEMPLATES_DIR]
*createstringarray 1 "CONNECTORS_SKIP"
*feoutput_singleinclude 10 "" "$template/optistruct/" "C:/temp/myinclude.fem" 0 0 1 1 1

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:
if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
