# Remesh Surface with Cyclic Symmetry
***
Mesh, Scalar Field, Surface Mesh Shape Enum, Scalar, Scalar, Scalar, Scalar, Scalar, Scalar, Axis, Vector, Scalar
Remesh a given surface mesh to create conformal nodes and elements on independent and dependent planes. The independent plane is defined by a normal, and the dependent plane is defined by rotating the normal about an axis of rotation in the independent plane.
### Inputs
| Name | Type | Description |
| - | - | - |
| Surface | [Mesh](../../../../block-documentation/types/mesh) | Surface mesh to remesh. |
| Edge length | [Scalar Field](../../../../block-documentation/types/scalar-field) | The target edge length of the generated elements. |
| Shape | Surface Mesh Shape Enum | The element shape of the output mesh. |
| Span angle | [Scalar](../../../../block-documentation/types/scalar) | The maximum spanning angle for elements generated on curved surfaces. Decreasing the span angle will refine the mesh in areas of local curvature. |
| Growth rate | [Scalar](../../../../block-documentation/types/scalar) | The rate at which the size of adjacent elements can grow. This value must be greater than 1.001. |
| Feature angle | [Scalar](../../../../block-documentation/types/scalar) | The maximum angle used to automatically compute the preserved edges in the input surface. Decreasing the feature angle will produce a mesh whose edges are better aligned with the input surface. |
| Min edge length | [Scalar](../../../../block-documentation/types/scalar) | The minimum allowed edge length of the generated elements in the output mesh. |
| Chord height | [Scalar](../../../../block-documentation/types/scalar) | The maximum distance from the midpoint of an element edge to the input surface. A value of zero turns off chord height sizing. |
| Min feature size | [Scalar](../../../../block-documentation/types/scalar) | The minimum small feature size to control the deletion of small features. A recommended value is about five percent of the edge length. A value of zero turns off feature deletion. |
| Rotational axis | [Axis](../../../../block-documentation/types/axis) | The axis of rotation for the cyclically symmetric mesh. The independent surface normal will be rotated about the axis to determine the plane to construct a conformal mesh. The rotational axis must lie in the plane defined by the independent normal. |
| Independent normal | [Vector](../../../../block-documentation/types/vector) | The normal defining the independent planar surface. |
| Sector angle | [Scalar](../../../../block-documentation/types/scalar) | The rotation of the independent normal about the rotational axis to define the dependent (and bounding) plane of the cyclically symmetric mesh. 360 degrees (or 2 pi) must be divided evenly by the sector angle. |
