Single/multiple edges, Non-manifold vertices, Duplicate elements will crash the prism mesher Visually scan the surface mesh Look for kinks or sharp tent-like structures in the mesh Diagnostics may not reveal all surface discrepancies Make sure part associations are correct Look for a few elements in one part scattered among another part Extruding from a few isolated elements and none of their neighbors will likely crash Modify part assignments of offending elements Prism Features Prism Features Minimal user input required Number of layers Height ratio Select parts to mesh Prism - Advanced Options Prism – Advanced Options Specify volume part for prisms Specify brand new part for prisms in void Exponential or linear Specify 3, Compute params to calculate 4th. Total height should be less than 1/3 the smallest gap for a given part. On – changes the direction of prism growth; Off – grows prisms in normal direction For one prism
