The Pointwise CFD product team is pleased to announce the availability of Pointwise 18.5 Release 1 is our leading mesh generation software product for CFD, encompassing nearly three decades of technology development.
Pointwise 18.5 Release 1 Release Notes - Date: November 2021
New Features
- A function has been added to the unstructured block solver to improve cell quality after initialization. It uses weighted condition number smoothing to change unstructured and voxel block grid point locations to improve cell quality.
- Automatic Volume Mesh has been introduced allowing unstructured blocks to be generated automatically for surface meshes by specifying volume meshing extents, shape, and resolution goals.
- Automatic Surface Mesh has been enhanced to include user created boundary conditions, enhanced T-Rex performance out of tight corners as well as other improvements.
- The slope of database curves and connectors can now be explicitly controlled to enforce tangency, normalcy, or orthogonality.
- The Patch command has been enhanced to now provide pending surfaces which maintain slope tangency with the surrounding surface or surfaces, automatically.
- A new unstructured algorithm, Thin Surface Interpolation, has been introduced specifically to improve cell structure of thin and tapered domains.
- Import and Export upgrades including:
. AVMesh V2 export is now supported
. Boundary and Volume Conditions as well as standard extensions are now available for UGRID
. MFEM has been added to CAE Solvers.
. Catia V6 is now supported
. Units can be specified for CGNS
