Training Courses at the Pointwise User Group Meeting

Learn how Pointwise V17's T-Rex anisotropic tetrahedral meshing can automate viscous meshing for your complex geometries. Push attributes is an exciting capability exclusive to Pointwise which allows the user to set T-Rex attributes at the block solver level and have those attributes automatically pushed, or copied, to the parent domains and connectors. This is a huge time savings over setting these attributes manually on the individual domains and connectors on the perimeter of a T-Rex block. Prism recombination in Pointwise goes way that in Gridgen by combining incomplete anisotropic layers as well. The cell count reduction for export to your solver is dramatic.

Pointwise V17 supports native CAD file import for many popular formats. Learn how to quickly and easily import these files and about the attributes Pointwise supports. Also learn how to examine parametric information for your database surfaces, how to use the extended Create, Offset tool for offsetting an existing database surface boundary and how to use layers in the entity selection process.

• Add Layer to Selection

Learn about a number of new tools and features which enhance Pointwise V17's Solve command for both structured and unstructured applications. Use the power of Sub-Grids to accelerate your grid smoothing ends. Baffles can provide grid clustering on the interior of your unstructured blocks as well as creating true interior flow boundaries. Copy spacing constraints from one connector to another and more!

• Project Within Solve
• Pyramid Crossing Check
• Copy Δs and Δs on the List Panel

Discover the power of creating and using groups in Pointwise V17 for all of your entity types. Use the Re-Extrude command to make those small changes you need in an existing extruded domain or block. Plus learn how we've improved the Diagonalize command and about the new double precision graphics added to V17.
