Last update: 02.04.2026

class ansys.meshing.prime.AutoNodeMoveParams(model=None, quality_measure=None, target_quality=None, dihedral_angle=None, n_iterations_per_node=None, restrict_boundary_nodes_along_surface=None, n_attempts=None, json_data=None, **kwargs)

Parameters used to improve volume mesh by auto node move.

Parameters:

model: Model

Model to create a AutoNodeMoveParams object with default parameters.

quality_measure: CellQualityMeasure, optional

Specify cell quality measure to be used for volume mesh improvement. The default value for cell quality measure is skewness.

target_quality: float, optional

Specify target quality used for the mesh improvement based on specified quality measure.

dihedral_angle: float, optional

Dihedral angle used to maintain features of boundary face zonelets.

n_iterations_per_node: int, optional

Number of iterations per node to be moved.

restrict_boundary_nodes_along_surface: bool, optional

Option to restrict the movement of the boundary node to the plane containing the boundary faces sharing the boundary node.

n_attempts: int, optional

Number of attempts to improve specified quality measure by node movement.

json_data: dict, optional

JSON dictionary to create a AutoNodeMoveParams object with provided parameters.

Examples

>>> auto_node_move_params = prime.AutoNodeMoveParams(model = model)
