Model.setmeshparams_byfacecollection(face_collection, FaceAlgType=INT_MAX, FaceElemType=INT_MAX, FaceElemType2=INT_MAX, FaceMeshAlgorithm=INT_MAX, FaceMeshMapPoint1=Entity(), FaceMeshMapPoint2=Entity(), FaceMeshMapPoint3=Entity(), FaceMeshMapPoint4=Entity(), FaceMeshMapPoint5=Entity(), FaceSizeControl=INT_MAX, FaceSkewControl=INT_MAX, FaceSmoothMethod=0, FaceSmoothTolerance=DBL_MAX)

Sets 2D meshing edge and face parameters used during surface and element meshing. For surface meshing, the edge definition is by surface edge entity ID or mark, and the face definition is by surface entity ID or mark. For element remeshing, the edge definition is by pair of node IDs of element edges, and the face definition is by element ID. While remeshing, topology is built with the user-defined feature option. A topological edge is assigned a user given edge parameter if it is part of a user given element edge, and similarly for face parameters.
