Pointwise是一款非常流行的CFD前处理网格生成软件，其前身为Gridgen软件，后者是上世纪80年代美国通用动力公司专门为研制F-16战斗机而开发,其被广泛应用于F-16, F-15, F-18, F-22, F-35, F-117, B-2, E-2C, P-3C, X-15，X-43、Space Shuttle, Space Station、高性能涡轮和高性能潜艇开发中。
Pointwise可以生成多块结构网格、非结构网格和混合网格，支持导入多种CAD数据格式作为网格生成基础，也可自行建立简单模型。其支持的导入格式包含了所有主流CAD软件，比如CATIA，SOLIDWORKS，PRO/E等等，也支持包括IGS，STP，PLOT3D等通用格式。其生成的网格可以输出十几种常用商业流体软件的数据格式，包括ANSYS FLUENT，CFX，CFD++，PHOENICS，OVERFLOW，STAR-CCM+等，也包括众多开源软件支持格式，包括SU2，CFL3D，PYFR，OPENFOAM等等。对用户自编的CFD软件，可选用公开格式导出,如结构网格的 PLOT3D格式和非结构网格CGNS格式。
The Pointwise CFD product team is pleased to announce the availability of Pointwise 18.6 Release 1 is our leading mesh generation software product for CFD, encompassing nearly three decades of technology development.
Pointwise 18.6 Release 1 Release Notes – Date: May 2022
New Features
– Fidelity Pointwise 2022.1 now uses FlexNet for license management. Fidelity Pointwise V18.6 (functionally equivalent) supports Reprise License Manager.
– A function was added to the unstructured block solver that speeds up T-Rex initialization times by allowing T-Rex to advance multiple layers with each step.
– Two new examine metrics were added for estimating required curving during high-order export: Database Deviation and Relative Database Deviation.
– Domains created by using On Database Entities now inherit the quilt name.
– Saving a file using Save Selection As will now keep only the named layers that contain selected entities rather than keeping all named layers.
– A new keyboard shortcut was added for isolating masks: Ctrl + LMB + Mask toolbar icon.
– A new Glyph command was added to compute the minimum distance between database surfaces.
– A new ability to hide assigned volume conditions was added to the CAE, Volume Conditions panel.
– The default value for voxel transition layers was updated to 5.
– The following versions are now supported for database import: NX CR 1980, Parasolid 33, and Creo 8.
Pointwise is solving the top problem facing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) today – reliably generating high-fidelity meshes. The company’s Pointwise software generates structured, unstructured, overset and hybrid meshes; interfaces with CFD solvers such as ANSYS FLUENT, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, and SU2 as well as many neutral formats, such as CGNS; runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac, and has a scripting language, Glyph, that can automate CFD meshing. Manufacturing firms and research organizations worldwide have relied on Pointwise as their complete CFD preprocessing solution since 1994.
