How can I use Density regions and Prism together on a 2D mesh in ICEM?

      The interaction of density and prism is a bit different for 2D meshing. 1. As usual, the Blayer2D option must be activated under the Advanced prism parameters to invoke 2D meshing, and the relevant curves must be selected for prism meshing in the Prism Parts data table. However, because the density acts on the surface mesh, 2 additional steps must be taken: 2. In the Prism Parts data table, the surface a must be selected for prism meshing as well, and the option “Apply prism parameters to curves” must be activated (so that Prism knows how to grow the prisms) 3. The option to Override Surface Preset/Default Mesh Type must be active to allow the Density region to work For a demonstration of these steps, please view the attached video
