Meshing Software

February 1, 2016

Pointwise (Fort Worth, TX) has announced the latest release of its meshing software featuring new native interfaces to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes. Pointwise Version 17.3 R4 also includes support for ESP, the Engineering Sketch Pad, an open-source, browser-based, constructive solid, CAD system from the team of Dr. John Dannenhoffer (Syracuse University) and Robert Haimes (MIT). ESP targets multi-disciplinary analysis and optimization (MDAO) by aiding computation of the sensitivity of objective functions (lift and drag, for example) with respect to design parameters (wing sweep, for example). ESP is available online at acdl.mit.edu/ESP.

Pointwise software generates structured, unstructured and hybrid meshes; interfaces with CFD solvers, such as ANSYS FLUENT®, STARCCM+ ®, ANSYS CFX®, OpenFOAM, and SU2 as well as many neutral formats, such as CGNS; runs on Windows (Intel and AMD), Linux (Intel and AMD), and Mac, and has a scripting language, Glyph, that can automate CFD meshing.
