🐞 Description of the bug

I am trying to generate hex dominant mesh for solid body. there I am getting minimum element quality of 0.02, which I need to increase to 0.2.

📝 Steps to reproduce

improve = prime.VolumeMeshTool(model=model)
params = prime.AutoNodeMoveParams(
model=model,
quality_measure=prime.CellQualityMeasure.SKEWNESS,
target_quality=0.80,
dihedral_angle=90,
n_iterations_per_node=50,
restrict_boundary_nodes_along_surface=True,
n_attempts=10,
)

improve.improve_by_auto_node_move(
part_id=part.id,
cell_zonelets=part.get_cell_zonelets(),
boundary_zonelets=part.get_face_zonelets(),
params=params,
)

Hi @ragulselvaraj20,

Can you describe the bug that you are experiencing? What output are you seeing that is not as expected? In your description you indicate you wish to optimise a mesh for element quality, however, in the snippet you show you are using skewness as the criteria.

Which method are you using for hex meshing?
