Pointwise Updates Meshing Software

Pointwise has updated its CFD (computational fluid dynamics) mesh generation software. This version adds unstructured quadrilateral surface meshing, unstructured hexahedral layer extrusion and tetrahedral mesh clustering.

Pointwise V18 also includes the ability to retain hybrid meshes in their mixed-cell format for mesh metric examination and other tasks, support for faceted geometry models with a mix of triangles and quadrilaterals, high resolution monitor support, and user interface improvements that span all aspects of the software’s functionality.

“This latest release of Pointwise includes the broadest changes to the software’s core meshing functionality since 2007 when we introduced our T-Rex technique for boundary layer resolving hybrid meshes,” said John Chawner, Pointwise’s president. “The addition of quad-dominant surface meshing continues our work toward delivering tools that can generate higher quality meshes and do so faster than ever before.”
