SurferParams

class ansys.meshing.prime.SurferParams(model=None, max_angle=None, size_field_type=None, min_size=None, max_size=None, growth_rate=None, constant_size=None, generate_quads=None, check_non_manifolds=None, avoid_corner_triangles=None, smooth_size_transition=None, advanced_surfer_setup=None, project_on_geometry=None, enable_multi_threading=None, json_data=None, **kwargs)

Parameters used to generate surface mesh.

Parameters:

model: Model

Model to create a SurferParams object with default parameters.

max_angle: float, optional

Maximum feature angle limit to be used to identify and preserve features.

size_field_type: SizeFieldType, optional

Size field type used to generate surface mesh.

min_size: float, optional

Minimum size to be used in sizing for the surfer.

max_size: float, optional

Maximum size to be used in sizing for the surfer.

growth_rate: float, optional

Growth rate to be used to propagate sizes.

constant_size: float, optional

Size used in constant size surface meshing.

generate_quads: bool, optional

Option to generate quadrilateral surface mesh.

check_non_manifolds: bool, optional

Option to avoid new non-manifolds(multi-connection) if generated in surface mesh.

avoid_corner_triangles: bool, optional

Option to avoid corner triangles(with all three boundary nodes) generated.

smooth_size_transition: bool, optional

Option to generate mesh with smooth size transition from neighbors of selected surfaces. This includes neighboring face edge sizes in sizing provided for surface meshing to achieve smooth size transition.

advanced_surfer_setup: AdvancedSurferSetup, optional

Option to define advanced settings for remeshing operation.

project_on_geometry: bool, optional

Option to project on CAD geometry when meshing.

enable_multi_threading: bool, optional

Option to perform surface meshing in parallel using multithreads.

json_data: dict, optional

JSON dictionary to create a SurferParams object with provided parameters.
