Miscellaneous Applications of Pointwise's CFD Mesh Generation
Apply Pointwise to your own meshes with a no-cost, no-obligation evaluation license.
CFD isn't all about planes, trains and automobiles. Innovative practitioners are applying CFD to new and interesting applications all the time. Pointwise's meshing software is flexible enough to impact computational work in wide-ranging fields such as biomedical, electromagnetic, acoustics, and wind energy.
Flexibility isn't all about mesh types, either. Pointwise provides multiple data formats for import of geometry and raw mesh data and export of the same up to and including the mesh and flow boundary conditions formatted for your solver. The plugin capability gives you total control over adding a new solver format to the software that you can then share with your colleagues worldwide.
