Pointwise v18.2 R2 x64

Pointwise, the next-generation of CFD meshing software, is now available. A new, modern, intuitive graphical interface, undo & redo, highly automated mesh assembly, and other features simplify mesh generation like nothing before. Pointwise is a software solution to the top problem facing engineering analysts: mesh generation for computational fluids dynamics (CFD).

Pointwise - The Future of Reliable CFD Meshing
Pointwise is a software solution to the top problem facing engineering analysts: mesh generation for computational fluids dynamics (CFD).

The Reliable CFD Meshing You Trust...
Quality - We designed Pointwise so users could be in control, not the system. Whether your grid is structured, unstructured, or hybrid, Pointwise uses high-quality techniques with powerful controls so you can achieve accurate and reliable results while reducing computer resources required.

Flexibility - Pointwise offers the best of both worlds: advanced automation, as well as flexible manual controls for those times when only human intervention can create the outcome you demand. It's the workhorse that gets you confidently from dealing with less-than-perfect CAD to formatting the grid for your flow solver.

Service - Our commitment to your success is only beginning with your Pointwise license. Whether you encounter a technical issue or just need advice to get the most from Pointwise, our industry-tested engineers are ready to help. We generate more than just grids - we also build long-term relationships.

We have combined our reliable CFD meshing with modern software techinques to bring you the eponymous Pointwise - a quantum leap in gridding capability. In addition to the high quality grid techniques we have always had, you will appreciate Pointwise's flat interface, automated grid assembly, and full undo and redo capabilities.

Pointwise's well-organized and intuitive interface and exceptional functionality give you the tools and the freedom to concentrate on producing the highest-quality grids in the shortest possible time. It's simple and logical - meaning you don't have to get bogged down in trying to learn or remember how to use the software every time you sit down with it. But while being easy to use, Pointwise doesn't sacrifice grid quality. Pointwise provides the power to produce the highest quality grids available. After all, your analysis is only as good as your grid.

Pointwise supports Windows on both AMD and Intel. Currently, only 32-bit support is available for Windows.

Here are some key features of "Pointwise":
- All of the algebraic extrusion methods and associated controls are now available.
- All of the grid point distribution tools have been implemented including copying distributions and creating subconnectors.
- Point probing and measurement have been implemented.
- Intersection edges from shells (faceted geometry) are now automatically joined into long curves.
- Three distinct modes for drawing circles have been implemented.
- The Orient command has been extended to connectors, domains, and database entities.
- Join has been extended to work with database curves and surfaces.
- Splitting now provides the ability to select a curve's control points as the split location.
- Image rotation points can now be entered via text in addition to selection.
- The Smooth command is now available.
- The Edit Curve command can now convert a curve to a generalized Bezier form allowing control over the slopes at each control point.
- The Merge by Picking command is now available.
- Tangent lines are now visible when creating and editing conic arcs.
