Custom Grid Generation

Our consulting staff has an understanding of meshing borne of extensive industrial applied CFD experience. Pointwise engineers will assist with every step of your meshing project, from planning to meshing to preprocessing and formatting for your CFD solver. At all times, your mesh quality, schedule, and budget goals will be paramount.

Pointwise's project engineers can mesh complex geometries for you, allowing you to focus on the CFD solver and other issues. We can deliver the mesh in Pointwise's or Gridgen's native format as a starting point for your design modifications or as an aid in learning the software's meshing strategies.

Topics to consider when planning a meshing project include:

How will the geometry be provided? IGES? Wireframes?
How large a grid do you want? How many blocks? How many points?
What limits are placed on the grid by your CFD solver and the computer hardware on which you'll be running the CFD solver?
What type of grid clustering and element types do you need and where?
In what format do you want the grid delivered?
When do you need the grid?

Software Customization

Your organization may have specific requirements for meshing, including the ability to import and export proprietary file formats. Pointwise can apply its extensive meshing software development experience to tailor Pointwise and Gridgen to your requirements. Our experiences combine in-depth knoweldge of advanced meshing techniques with a practical focus coming from years of solving real engineering problems on schedule and within budget.

Scripts and Templates

Our software's scripting language, Glyph, provides extensive opportunities for customizing and integrating Pointwise and Gridgen into your CFD process.

Automate meshing with templates for your applications.
Tightly couple mesh generation with your design codes and optimizers.
Capture and resuse your organization's unique CFD expertise.

Special Training and Education

Pointwise can provide special training and education classes at your site or ours and customize the training to your particular needs. The classes can cover the entire Gridgen process or focus on just advanced or new features. We can use one of your meshes to illustrate the topics and provide special consulting on how to generate specific types of meshes.
