In this week’s post you’ll see some news from Pointwise about two upcoming events and a brand new case study about best practices gained from generating meshes for the propulsion aerodynamics workshop. The rest of the news, while good, is rather sparse and when you read you’ll learn why. Which is also why there’s this NASA photo of clouds on Jupiter.

The grandson of two engineers, the son of an architect and banker, and the brother of a physicist. I have always hopelessly been destined for a career in math and science. Raised in Winston-Salem, North Carolina; known historically as the home of the Reynolds family (or more specifically Camel cigarettes), I spent most of my time growing up surrounded by my family and church. Apart from school; my free time was filled with classical guitar lessons, church youth and scouting activities, as well as the occasional drama production.
Meshing and visualization are heavily featured in this two-week compilation of news from the world of CFD. Plus, there’s a cool, online, interactive CFD simulator that’s worth checking out (shown here to the right). And, of course, here’s your reminder to register for the Pointwise User Group Meeting 2018. So with apologies to Edward Tufte who tells us that alphabetical is the least valuable sort order… 
The Pointwise User Group Meeting 2018 will be held in Fort Worth, Texas on 14-15 November and registration is now open. Networking and learning are at the top of the list of reasons why you should attend. 
While it’s not for me to tell you what to watch or read, there are two must watch videos this week. The first – screenshot shown here – is a beautiful simulation of Rayleigh-Benard convection. The second is an article with embedded video interviews about our friend democratization and what it really means. 
The Pointwise Plugin SDK includes an API with which you can integrate meshing into your CFD process with customized file importers and exporters. Here’s how you can get – for free – the ultimate resource for writing your own plugins.
Howdy! I was born and raised in the city of Allen, Texas. From a young age I quickly realized that I wanted to work in a field that relied strongly on the use of mathematics. In school I was always fascinated by the beauty and order of mathematics and so I began searching for the applications of it. This passion for exploring the use of mathematics led me to the great college of RSS Feed
