The options table, optionally supplied as a parameter to the file saving process functions, controls the final format of the resulting file. When filling this table, keep in mind that only options different from the default are needed. When an option is not present in the table, its default value will be used. Since not every option is supported by every file format, the last column lists the formats that support the given option. The supported options are:

Attribute	Description	Type	Def. Value (NF, XDMF)	Supported by (NF, XDMF)
split	When set to true, all saved vector values will be split into scalar values and saved as scalars.	Boolean	false, true	Yes, Yes
materialPropertySet	Defines which property set, among those associated with the saved mesh, should be used to define the material index associated with mesh cells.	String	nil, nil	Yes, Yes
saveDisplacements	When set to true, includes a nodal displacement section on the saved neutral file. The displacement vector must be '`u`' attribute.	bool	nil	Yes, No

discontinuitySet	Defines which associated discontinuitySet should be saved.	String	nil, nil	No, Yes
discontinuityMode	When `discontinuitySet` attribute is set, defines which discontinuitySet data is saved, can be one of the values {"original", "intersection", "both"}.	String	"original", nil	No, Yes

scaleFactorX	A scale factor applied over the X node coordinate (savedX = scaleFactorX * X + offsetX).	Number	1.0	Yes, Yes
scaleFactorY	A scale factor applied over the Y node coordinate (savedY = scaleFactorY * Y + offsetY).	Number	1.0	Yes, Yes
scaleFactorZ	A scale factor applied over the Z node coordinate (savedZ = scaleFactorZ * Z + offsetZ).	Number	1.0	Yes, Yes
offsetX	An offset added to the X node coordinate (savedX = scaleFactorX * X + offsetX).	Number	0.0	Yes, Yes
offsetY	An offset added to the Y node coordinate (savedY = scaleFactorY * Y + offsetY).	Number	0.0	Yes, Yes
offsetZ	An offset added to the Z node coordinate (savedZ = scaleFactorZ * Z + offsetZ).	Number	0.0	Yes, Yes
coordAttribute	The name of a node attribte that will be used to replace the mesh coordinate in the saved file. If empty, the mesh coordinate will be used.	String	nil, nil	Yes, Yes

state	The state number used to find values when an attribute / state variable has an associated history. If the state is invalid for a saved data, the default will be used for it.	Integer	0, 0 (present state)	Yes, Yes
allStates	When set to true, all the history states associated with the saved attributes / state variables will be saved to the file. Makes sense only if all variables share the same number of states (or have exactly one state which will be used for all states).	Boolean	false, false	Yes, Yes

activeOnly	When set to true, only active cells will be saved.	Boolean	false, false	Yes, Yes
activeNodesOnly	When set to true and `activeOnly` is also set to true, only nodes that belong to active cells will be saved to the file. This option will trigger a node reordering on the saved file.	Boolean	false, false	Yes, Yes

tempFileMask	The file mask used when creating a temporary file for saving multiple results on a Neutral file. The file mask must be a file path, which can include path macros, where the file name includes a "XXXXXX" (6 X characters) part that will be replaced by a unique string. If this option is missing, the default will be `"$SIMULATIONDIR/$SIMULATIONNAME_nf_XXXXXX.tmp"`.	String	See description	Yes, No
forDumping	When set to true while saving multiple results to a Neutral file, the resulting temporary file will not be erased after the saving is completed since it will take part on a state dump.	Boolean	false, false	Yes, Yes
saveNodeId	Saves extra attribute column with node index.	Boolean	true*, false	Yes, Yes
saveIntNodeId	Saves extra attribute column with node indexing used internally (reordered).	Boolean	false, false	Yes, Yes
saveNodeBcTags	Saves extra attribute column with node boundary condition tags.	Boolean	false, false	No, Yes
saveCellId	Saves extra attribute column with cell index.	Boolean	false, false	Yes, Yes
saveIntCellId	Saves extra attribute column with cell indexing used internally (reordered).	Boolean	false, false	Yes, Yes
saveCellType	Saves extra attribute column with cell types.	Boolean	false, false	Yes, Yes
saveCellActive	Saves extra attribute column with cell active flag.	Boolean	false, false	Yes, Yes
saveCellMaterial	Saves extra attribute column with cell material.	Boolean	true*, false	Yes, Yes
saveGaussId	Saves extra attribute column with gauss point index.	Boolean	true*, false	Yes, Yes
saveMinMax	Saves the minimum and maximum vaules for each meshData attribute.	Boolean	false, false	No, Yes
savePartialXdmf	Saves partial xdmf files separated (XDMF only).	Boolean	false, false	No, Yes
splitDataFile	Saves each time step in a separated file (XDMF only).	Boolean	false, false	No, Yes
singlePrecision	Saves data in single precision `float` instead of `double` (XDMF only).	Boolean	false, false	No, Yes
