is there a way to tell autoGEM to not put nodes on certain edges?

I have a very organic model that is composed of lots of surfaces, some of them have very, very acute vertex angles. If I could effectively remove some of these edge, the mesh would work, and the structural analysis would run.

Currently, I modify the part in Wildfire. I make a surface over the acute angle and patch it in. But I have to do so many times in some of the models that it's very time consuming.

Thanks
