🤓 Before submitting the issue

[X] I have visited the Troubleshooting section.
[X] I have searched among the existing issues.
[X] I am using a Python virtual environment.
[X] I am using the latest version of PyMAPDL and its dependencies (fully updated virtual environment). You can update them using pip install --upgrade --upgrade-strategy eager ansys-mapdl-core.

🔍 Description of the bug

mapdl.cdwrite(options = 'DB', fname = saveName, ext = 'cdb') will write the cdb but also the .iges which is not required. The standard apdl command only writes the .cdb. Not a huge issue, but it is time/memory.

Run the script below and a .cdb and a .iges will be created.

🕵️ Steps To Reproduce

from ansys.mapdl.core import launch_mapdl
import os
myDir = 'D:\\temp'

version = 'C:\\Program Files\\ANSYS Inc\\v232\\ansys\\bin\\winx64\\ansys232.exe'
mapdl = launch_mapdl(run_location = myDir, exec_file = version)
mapdl.prep7()
mapdl.blc4(0, 0, 1, 1, 1)

mapdl.cdwrite(options = 'DB', fname = 'test1', ext = 'cdb')
mapdl.exit()

Hi @mcMunich & @germa89 This is not a bug - sorry it's a typo. The command field is "option" not "options" on the CDWRITE command. Since "option" is not defined it uses the default 'all' i.e. cdb and iges creation.
