component_outlinestr, optional

Component outline. Value can either be BoundingBox or None. The default is BoundingBox.

auxiliary_dictbool or str, optional

Whether to export the auxiliary file containing information about defined datasets and Icepak monitor objects. A destination file can be specified using a string. The default is False.

monitor_objectslist, optional

List of monitor objects’ names to export. The default is the names of all monitor objects. This argument is relevant only if auxiliary_dict_file is not set to False.

datasetslist, optional

List of dataset names to export. The default is all datasets. This argument

is relevant only if auxiliary_dict_file is set to True.
