### *class* ansys.meshing.prime.ExtractFeatureParams(model=None, replace=None, feature\_angle=None, separate\_features=None, separation\_angle=None, disconnect\_with\_faces=None, label\_name=None, number\_of\_threads=None, json\_data=None, \*\*kwargs)

Parameter to control feature edge extraction.

**Parameters:**

**model: Model**

Model to create a `ExtractFeatureParams` object with default parameters.

**replace: bool, optional**

Option to replace existing edge zonelets with new extracted edge zonelets.

**feature\_angle: float, optional**

Angle used to capture face features to be extracted as edges.

**separate\_features: bool, optional**

Option to separate extracted features.

**separation\_angle: float, optional**

Angle used to separate extracted features.

**disconnect\_with\_faces: bool, optional**

Option to disconnect edges from faces. If false, edges remain connected to faces by sharing nodes.

**label\_name: str, optional**

Label name to be assigned to extracted features.

**number\_of\_threads: int, optional**

Number of threads used for multithreading.

**json\_data: dict, optional**

JSON dictionary to create a `ExtractFeatureParams` object with provided parameters.

### Examples

```pycon
>>> extract_feature_params = prime.ExtractFeatureParams(model = model)

```
