class improve_feature_capture(service, version, mode, path)

Bases: TUIMethod

Enables you to imprint the edges comprising the object on to the object face zones to improve feature capture for mesh objects. You can specify the number of imprinting iterations to be performed. The geometry objects used to create the mesh objects should be available when the improve-feature-capture command is invoked.

The smooth-and-improve method improves the mesh by a combination of smoothing, swapping, and surface mesh improvement operations. Object normals are correctly oriented and island faces are also deleted. You can optionally coarsen the surface mesh by specifying a suitable coarsening factor. Additional imprinting operations can be done to improve feature capture on the surface mesh. The surface-remesh method improves the mesh by remeshing based on the current size field. Object normals are correctly oriented and island faces are also deleted.
