Special Pointwise and Gridgen Training Sessions
Training sessions on Tuesday, April 13, 2010 covered the latest features in both Pointwise and Gridgen. The Gridgen session included new features that you may not be aware of that can save time meshing. An introductory section for Pointwise helped users new to the software pick up some of the basics of the interface. A Pointwise preview session will allow attendees to see the new features coming in the next release of Pointwise. The training sessions also will include hands-on exercises for attendees to try firsthand the features discussed.
