    Jan. 12, 2011

    Pointwise Version 16.04 computational fluid dynamics (CFD) meshing software includes a wide-ranging set of new tools.
    Pointwise Version 16.04 computational fluid dynamics (CFD) meshing software includes a wide-ranging set of new tools. For example, the surface meshing formulation of the T-Rex (anisotropic tetrahedral extrusion) hybrid meshing algorithm first developed for Pointwise’s Gridgen software now is available in Pointwise. There is also a new tool for moving individual grid points. Other new features include the capability to split and join faceted geometry models and the extension of the CAE plug-in API for writing your own CAE solver export to structured grid formats. The new release also includes 64-bit support on Mac OS X, annotation entities, printing to PNG, TIFF, and BMP files, and 11 new or updated CAE software interfaces. Pointwise Inc., 213 S. Jennings Ave., Fort Worth, TX 76104, (817) 377-2807, www.pointwise.com
