#### *static* ProximitySizingParams.set\_default(min=None, max=None, growth\_rate=None, elements\_per\_gap=None, ignore\_self\_proximity=None, ignore\_orientation=None)

Set the default values of the `ProximitySizingParams` object.

**Parameters:**

**min: float, optional**

Minimum size used for computing edge and face size using proximity size control.

**max: float, optional**

Maximum size used for computing edge and face size using proximity size control.

**growth\_rate: float, optional**

Growth rate used for transitioning from one element size to neighbor element size.

**elements\_per\_gap: float, optional**

The number of elements per gap can be a real value. This has the effect of stretching face elements with larger sizes along side faces, or gaps, thereby reducing the overall face count, and ultimately the cell count.

**ignore\_self\_proximity: bool, optional**

Ignore proximity within zonelets.

**ignore\_orientation: bool, optional**

The ignore orientation option can be used to ignore the face normal orientation during the proximity calculation. The default is false.
