For All Intensive Purposes, We Use the Acronym CAD Incorrectly
Now that I have your attention through deliberate (and all too common) misuse of the phrase “for all intents and purposes,” let’s talk about computer aided design and geometry models.
Geometry Kernel Research Selected by U.S. Air Force
Pointwise’s research proposal on the topic of providing geometry kernel support for CFD solvers was selected for negotiation by the U.S. Air Force.
Drawing Curves on Geometry Without a Parametric Space – New in Pointwise V18.1
Drawing curves on the geometry model is a lot more flexible in the latest Pointwise release because it can now be done when the model lacks a consistent parametric space (like a solid model comprised of a complex quilting of … Continue reading
This Week in CFD
This week’s CFD news includes several long-ish but worthy reads on intelligence, exascale, and reading news itself. Plus the usual software and application updates. (This image courtesy of an article on CFD for F1.)
