### *class* ansys.meshing.prime.SmoothType(value, names=None, \*values, module=None, qualname=None, type=None, start=1, boundary=None)

Indicates the the type of operation to be performed during the smooth dihedral face nodes operation.

### Methods

NameDescription[`SmoothType.conjugate`](ansys.meshing.prime.SmoothType.conjugate.md#ansys.meshing.prime.SmoothType.conjugate)Returns self, the complex conjugate of any int.[`SmoothType.bit_length`](ansys.meshing.prime.SmoothType.bit_length.md#ansys.meshing.prime.SmoothType.bit_length)(/)Number of bits necessary to represent self in binary.[`SmoothType.bit_count`](ansys.meshing.prime.SmoothType.bit_count.md#ansys.meshing.prime.SmoothType.bit_count)(/)Number of ones in the binary representation of the absolute value of self.[`SmoothType.to_bytes`](ansys.meshing.prime.SmoothType.to_bytes.md#ansys.meshing.prime.SmoothType.to_bytes)(/\[, length, byteorder, ...\])Return an array of bytes representing an integer.[`SmoothType.from_bytes`](ansys.meshing.prime.SmoothType.from_bytes.md#ansys.meshing.prime.SmoothType.from_bytes)(/, bytes\[, byteorder, ...\])Return the integer represented by the given array of bytes.[`SmoothType.as_integer_ratio`](ansys.meshing.prime.SmoothType.as_integer_ratio.md#ansys.meshing.prime.SmoothType.as_integer_ratio)(/)Return a pair of integers, whose ratio is equal to the original int.[`SmoothType.is_integer`](ansys.meshing.prime.SmoothType.is_integer.md#ansys.meshing.prime.SmoothType.is_integer)(/)Returns True.### Attributes
