Write Model data to a Prep Input file.

WRITE,[<file>],[<path>]

creates the file named <file> in which all existent data is stored as instruction lines, so that the active model can be reloaded using the INP instruction (see section , page ). If the parameter is missing, the file will have the model's name with the ".pre" extension. The default path for <file> is the model's path.

Once you have created and saved a model, the data is stored in a sequence of files in the model's directory. If you want to keep the model only for further reference (the model will not be used often) you can produce an input file using the WRITE instruction. The file <file> is an ASCII file in which data is stored in PREP instructions. When you need to reload the model, type INP,<file> and the model's files will be rewritten.
