Smooth Solid

This command smooths the solid by adding points using the Laplacian method. The Min Edge Length prevents adding points that result in a triangle edge smaller than this value. The Apply Simplify option removes points which can give the solid more freedom to smooth. The Apply Refine option adds points to make the triangles more uniform which can improve the smoothing. These Simplify and Refine options are applied before the smoothing. The Iterations is the number of times the smoothing is applied to the solid.
