Hi

I set the quantity of prism layer into 3

However, at the conner of building, the third layer vanished (probably I didn't use correct words to describe the problem, but you can see it clearly in the attached pic)

Thanks for your help in advance

I'll take a guess from your picture, since the first two prism layers look the same height, that you did not float the prism layers.

If you did not then give that a try. Set the initial height and total height to 0 and just let ICEM build a few layers itself. There's lots of posts about floating prism layers if your stuck - particularly PSYMN's presentation/document. You'll want to be working to get enough prism layers for your simulation and a smooth volume transition between the last prism and first tetra - which is not what your picture shows.

Set up "Max prism angle" to 180 (degree).
