Gridgen User Group Meeting 2004

Pointwise's innaugural Gridgen User Group Meeting was held on April 5-6, 2004 at the Renaissance Worthington Hotel here in our hometown of Fort Worth, Texas. It was a great success and brought together our customers, our partners, and our staff for two days of intense sharing of meshing expertise. Our keynote speaker was Prof. David Whitfield from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Dr. Whitfield is Director of the Graduate School of Computational Engineering at the University of Tennessee (UT) at Chattanooga (UTC) and also Director of the UT SimCenter at Chattanooga. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from Oklahoma State University and obtained both his Master's and Ph.D. degrees in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Tennessee.

FIELDVIEW is an advanced, easy-to-use post processor designed specifically for CFD. The value of CFD to your business is in the decisions that it helps you make. Decisions are made while post-processing the CFD data. FIELDVIEW can help you leverage all of the effort put into obtaining solutions and add value by helping you to quickly and easily turn raw data into meaningful pictures and animations that everyone can understand. These capabilities will increase confidence in your decision making process, improve productivity and ultimately lead to better designs and products. FIELDVIEW is available for UNIX, Linux and Windows. Free trials and educational discounts are available. For more information please visit: www.ilight.com.
