### *class* ansys.meshing.prime.Surfer(model)

Generates surface mesh.

Performs surface meshing using various surface meshing algorithms on topofaces or face zonelets. For example, constant size or volumetric size surface meshing.

**Parameters:**

**model**

Server model to create Surfer object.

**part\_id**

Id of the part.
