The new release also includes annotation entities, printing to PNG, TIFF, and BMP files, and 11 new or updated CAE software interfaces. The company’s Gridgen and Pointwise software generates structured, unstructured, and hybrid meshes and interfaces with CFD solvers such as Ansys Fluent, Star-CD, Ansys CFX and OpenFoam, as well as many neutral formats such as CGNS. The software runs on Windows, Linux, Mac, and Unix, and includes scripting languages to automate CFD meshing.
