### *class* ansys.meshing.prime.ScopeDefinition(model=None, entity\_type=None, evaluation\_type=None, part\_expression=None, label\_expression=None, zone\_expression=None, json\_data=None, \*\*kwargs)

ScopeDefinition to scope entities based on entity and evaluation type.

- **Parameters:**
    
    **model: Model**: Model to create a `ScopeDefinition` object with default parameters.
    
    **entity\_type: ScopeEntity, optional**: Entity type for which scope needs to be evaluated. The default is set to face zonelets.
    
    **evaluation\_type: ScopeEvaluationType, optional**: Evaluation type to scope entities. The default is set to labels.
    
    **part\_expression: str, optional**: Part expression to scope parts while evaluating scope.
    
    **label\_expression: str, optional**: Label expression to scope entities when evaluation type is set to labels.
    
    **zone\_expression: str, optional**: Zone expression to scope entities when evaluation type is set to zones.
    
    **json\_data: dict, optional**: JSON dictionary to create a `ScopeDefinition` object with provided parameters.

### Examples

```pycon
&gt;&gt;&gt; scope_definition = prime.ScopeDefinition(model = model)

```
