Video Demonstrations of Pointwise CFD Mesh Generation Software

Introductory Video

This video is the place to start if you're new to mesh generation using Pointwise.

Getting Started with Pointwise

If you haven't used Pointwise before or are a Gridgen user, this video will familiarize you with Pointwise's meshing terminology, the user interface, and the general meshing process. [11:56] ▼

Application Videos - See How Meshes Are Generated

These application videos are your best source for a a detailed look at how Pointwise's meshing techniques are used to generate meshes for real geometries.

Multiblock Structured Meshing for a High Stagger Angle Axial Rotor: Part 1

This video (Part 1 of 2) is aimed at providing guidance in creating a CFD ready viscous multiblock structured mesh for a single passage of a high stagger angle axial rotor geometry. The associated Pointwise project file is AxialRotor.pw. [11:17] ▼

Multiblock Structured Mesh for a High Stagger Angle Axial Rotor: Part 2

This video (Part 2 of 2) is aimed at providing guidance in creating a CFD ready viscous multiblock structured mesh for a single passage of a high stagger angle axial rotor geometry. [18:19] ▼

Hybrid Meshing for a Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine

This video walks you through the generation of a hybrid mesh for a horizontal axis wind turbine. The associated Pointwise project file is HybridMeshing.pw. [38:05] ▼

Demo Videos - See How the Software Works

When you want to become more familiar with some of the high level features in Pointwise and their impact on command meshing problems, these demos videos should be your first stop. In only a couple minutes you can learn about meshing algorithms, solver interfaces, and much more.

Dirty Geometry: Solid Modeling

The solid modeling feature suite resolves problems with sloppy CAD data by forming the geometry into a watertight solid. [1:51] ▼

Dirty Geometry: Fault Tolerant Meshing

Fault tolerant meshing heals the mesh over gaps and overlaps in the CAD geometry so you can proceed without having to get bogged down in CAD repair. [2:01] ▼

Viscous Meshing: T-Rex

This video demonstrates how Gridgen's T-Rex (anisotropic tetrahedral extrusion) technique can be run from within Pointwise through the use of a script. [1:48] ▼

Viscous Meshing: Prism Extrusion

Extrusion of prism layers can be performed using a traditional algebraic technique in Pointwise as shown in this video. [1:52] ▼

Structured Meshing

Pointwise's structured grid techniques generate high quality quad and hex grids as in this example for an axial rotor blade. [2:13] ▼

CAE Preprocessing

Once your mesh is complete, you can customize it for your flow solver including boundary and volume conditions. [1:46] ▼
