class ansys.meshing.prime.ScaffolderParams(model=None, absolute_dist_tol=None, size_field_type=None, intersection_control_mask=None, edge_merge_control=None, constant_mesh_size=None, remove_holes_critical_radius=None, remove_slivers_abs_dist_tol_ratio=None, triangles_coplanar_angle_cos=None, json_data=None, **kwargs)

Parameters to control scaffold operation.

  • Parameters: model: Model : Model to create a ScaffolderParams object with default parameters.

    absolute_dist_tol: float, optional : Defines the maximum gap to connect.

    size_field_type: int, optional : Specifies the type of size field used for scaffolding.
    This is a beta parameter. The behavior and name may change in the future.

    intersection_control_mask: IntersectionMask, optional : Specifies the nature of intersection to be computed.

    edge_merge_control: int, optional : Specifies type of edge pairs to be merged during scaffold operation.
    This is a beta parameter. The behavior and name may change in the future.

    constant_mesh_size: float, optional : Defines the constant edge mesh size to check connection.

    remove_holes_critical_radius: float, optional : Defines the maximum radius of holes to be removed.
    This is a beta parameter. The behavior and name may change in the future.

    remove_slivers_abs_dist_tol_ratio: float, optional : Defines the maximum aspect ratio to remove sliver faces.
    This is a beta parameter. The behavior and name may change in the future.

    triangles_coplanar_angle_cos: float, optional : Lower bound for cos angle to consider coplanar faces for scaffolding.
    This is a beta parameter. The behavior and name may change in the future.

    json_data: dict, optional : JSON dictionary to create a ScaffolderParams object with provided parameters.
