+**ansafile**: The path to the Ansa file which mesh we want to output.
+
+**folder**: Path to the folder where the mesh is going to be output.
+
+**name**: Name of the case.
+
+**check2nd**: Option to write 2nd order elements.
+
+**check2nd2lineal**: Option to convert 2nd order element to lineal elements during the output. 
+
+**checkSurface**: Option to write surface meshes.
+
+* **check2D**: Option to specify that the surface is 2 dimensional. In case this option is enabled the plane which contains the mesh should by specified by the keywords **planeXY**, **planeYZ** or **planeZX**. 
+
+* **check3D**: Option to specify that the surface is 3 dimensional.       
+
+**checkDat**: Write the .dom.dat Alya file.
+
+**checkInfo**: Write the info.dat file which contains information related to the mesh as: scaling factor, boundary condition, material and subdomains.
+
+**checkCOORD**: Write the coordinates in mpio format.
+
+**checkLNODB**: Write the boundaries connectivities in mpio format.
+
+**checkLTYPB**: Write the boundaries types in mpio format.
+
+**checkLELBO**: Write the element attached at each boundary in mpio format.
+
+**checkCODBO**: Write the boundaries codes in mpio format.

+**checkLMAST**: Write the periodic nodes in mpio format.
+
+* **checkperPID**: Option that specify that the periodic nodes have to be collected from PID's.
+
+* **checkperSET**:  Option that specify that the periodic nodes have to be collected from SET's
+
+* **MasterSET**: List of master PID's or SET's number, space separated.
+
+* **ChildSET**: List of child PID's or SET's number, space separated. In case this option is enabled the plane which contains the nodes should by specified by the keywords **checkXY**, **checkYZ** or **checkZX**.

+**checkExtrapolate**: EXTRAPOLATE_BOUNDARY_CONDITIONS: ON in the .dom.dat id enable.
+
+**checkGeometrical**: Write the geometrical boundary conditions.
+
+**checkCodesNodes**: Option to write the codes and their intersection in Alya format in the .info.dat.
+
+**checkSizeBox**: Option to write the refinements information in the .info.dat file.

+
+**checkQuit**: Exit Ansa after finishing the writing precess.
+
+**checkSCale**: Enables mesh scaling.
+
+* **scaleFactor**: Factor for mesh scaling if scaling is enable.
+
+**checkInt4**: Write the mesh using int4.
+
+**checkInt8**: Write the mesh using int8.
