Prismatic element Mesh Control utilize

Hi folks,
I'm wondering if it's possible manage elements that era created using the "Prismatic Elements" control.

It doesn't feel the other control on the geometry like "Maximum element size" or also the general Mesh setting as Max aspect ratio.

 

If you see the attached pic, where I've marked the two red brackets, I can't set the Wedge depth.

 

At the moment I work around this issue with the addiction of much volume regions (second pic attached).

Thanks

If I model like you, Simulate has some restrictions, like in the following picture:

I haven't used this control so far either, but have tried manual nets, as in the example here.

Hi, it seems that the only way is to impose, in addiction to the Prismatic Elements control, also the Maximum Elements Size BUT over the component or over an internal volume.
If you impose the MES only over the surface it will not work.
But the think that in my opinion is wrong is that also the Max Aspect Ration doesn't work!
