Last update: 29.04.2026

class ansys.meshing.prime.HexCoreParams(model=None, transition_size_field_type=None, buffer_layers=None, rel_peel_layer_offset=None, transition_layer_type=None, cell_element_type=None, surface_mesh_size_scaling=None, enable_region_based_hexcore=None, json_data=None, **kwargs)

Parameters to control hexahedral mesh generation.

Parameters:

model: Model

Model to create a HexCoreParams object with default parameters.

transition_size_field_type: SizeFieldType, optional

Size field type to be used for transition volume (volume between hexcore and boundary).

buffer_layers: int, optional

Minimum number of cell layers of the same size before the cell size halves or doubles.

rel_peel_layer_offset: float, optional

Gap between hexahedral core and geometry surface relative to the surface mesh size.

transition_layer_type: HexCoreTransitionLayerType, optional

Handle size transition of hex cells.

cell_element_type: HexCoreCellElementType, optional

Cell element type of hex-shaped cells.

surface_mesh_size_scaling: SurfaceMeshSizeScaling, optional

Setting for scaling surface mesh size for hexcore refinement.

enable_region_based_hexcore: bool, optional

Checks whether to enable region based hexcore or not.

json_data: dict, optional

JSON dictionary to create a HexCoreParams object with provided parameters.

Examples

>>> hex_core_params = prime.HexCoreParams(model = model)
