It’s been a long week in the CFD world with notable new software releases and financial results (“Q2 was awesome.”) We link to Envenio’s guide to CFD and to a good video about colormaps like the ones we all use to plot our CFD results. And I’d be remiss if I didn’t include news about the Pointwise UGM and our upcoming seminar in Hamburg. Continue reading
Lorenzo Alba, a mechanical engineering student at the University of Texas at Arlington, spent the summer on our Technical Support team. Many of you will get to see his work close-up at the International Meshing Roundtable this coming October. But read on to learn about this contributions to documentation, testing, and meshing. 
Now is the time to sign-up to participate in the 2nd AIAA Geometry and Mesh Generation Workshop to be held the weekend prior to AIAA SciTech 2019 in San Diego where we will push meshing into the exascale, assess progress during the previous year and half, exercise meshing in a design environment, and discuss how to quantify the effects of the mesh on the CFD results. 
If Discovery Live has you jazzed about the potential of real-time simulation, there’s an article you have to read about what makes it possible. We at Pointwise announced a new case study on best practices for propulsion aerodynamics and a workshop on marine and wind energy applications to be held in Hamburg in September. Plus there’s all sorts of other news from the CFD world and beyond. 
We introduced you to 
At the Pointwise User Group Meeting 2018 in Fort Worth on 14-15 November 2018 we will be recognizing a mesh with the coveted Meshy Award for its visual appeal, originality, and uniqueness. The prior winners of this prestigious award exemplify all three of those attributes and after you’ve seen them we hope you’ll be driven to do even better.
Meshing remains somewhat of an art. Engineers tend to spend a significant amount of time generating grids, while mathematicians develop more advanced algorithms that may end up being exercised on meshes inappropriate for a given application. A mesh that provides a suitable solution for one flow condition can be shown to be inadequate at a different flow condition.RSS Feed
