Marine Applications of Pointwise's CFD Mesh Generation
Apply Pointwise to your own meshes with a no-cost, no-obligation evaluation license.
Marine and hydrodynamic applications of CFD are a field where Pointwise's meshing software has a long history. From racing yachts to cargo ships to submarines, from appendage drag to surface wave capturing to hydroacoustics, Pointwise supports the accurate meshing required.
Accurate and flexible geometry modeling is key to marine CFD and Pointwise's ability to work simultaneously with analytic geometry from CAD for designed structures and faceted geometry for organic and natural shapes provides everything you need.
The applications shown below illustrate how Pointwise gives you the edge you need for marine CFD.
