Default Large elements after creating prism layers

Hello,

I am having trouble creating an unstructured mesh in ICEM. The mesh is almost exactly what I want but for some reason, after I create the prism layers, I get these really large elements start to show up on my outlet surface.



Before running the prism maker, the outlet is covered in the small triangular elements seen near the center of image, but after the prism they look like this. I have tried reducing the 'max size' in the part sizing window but that does not seem to do anything. For reference, I am using the octree mesher with curvature and proximity refinement, but like I said the mesh looks great before creating prisms. Also these elements are only on the outlet surface. Further into the volme the mesh looks great. Could it be some issue with the prism layer stoping on the outlet?

Is there some prism setting that I need to change?

Thanks,

Kevin
