 # Connect

 Last update: 17.07.2025 

### *class* ansys.meshing.prime.Connect(model)

Connect face zonelets.

Perform surface connection using various connect algorithms on face zonelets.

- **Parameters:****model**: Server model to create Connect object.

### Notes

Connect operations support only computational mesh, which is mesh with reasonable size changes and quality. Faceted geometry, which is STL-like mesh that can have extreme size changes and many sliver elements, not supported.

### Methods

NameDescription[`Connect.fuse_face_zonelets`](ansys.meshing.prime.Connect.fuse_face_zonelets.md#ansys.meshing.prime.Connect.fuse_face_zonelets)(part\_id, ...)Perform fuse between overlapping face zonelets within a single part.[`Connect.intersect_face_zonelets`](ansys.meshing.prime.Connect.intersect_face_zonelets.md#ansys.meshing.prime.Connect.intersect_face_zonelets)(part\_id, ...)Perform intersection between specified face zonelets of the part with the given intersect parameters.[`Connect.join_face_zonelets`](ansys.meshing.prime.Connect.join_face_zonelets.md#ansys.meshing.prime.Connect.join_face_zonelets)(part\_id, ...)Joins a set of face zones with another set of face zones.[`Connect.merge_boundary_nodes`](ansys.meshing.prime.Connect.merge_boundary_nodes.md#ansys.meshing.prime.Connect.merge_boundary_nodes)(part\_id, ...)Merges boundary nodes of source face zonelets with boundary nodes of target face zonelets according to the provided parameters.[`Connect.stitch_face_zonelets`](ansys.meshing.prime.Connect.stitch_face_zonelets.md#ansys.meshing.prime.Connect.stitch_face_zonelets)(part\_id, ...)Stitches a set of face zonelets with another set of face zones.[`Connect.subtract_volumes`](ansys.meshing.prime.Connect.subtract_volumes.md#ansys.meshing.prime.Connect.subtract_volumes)(part\_id, ...)Subtract cutter volumes from target volumes.
