In 2020 we are conducting a "Pointwise for Aerospace CFD Workshop". Details are below. Title: Pointwise for Aerospace CFD Workshop Date/time: Monday 20th April 2020, from 09:30 - 16:30pm AEST Location: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Register : here The workshop will…
In this month's blog we describe the usage of Python to drive a process of mesh adaption with Caelus and Pointwise. Mesh Adaption can be beneficial in reducing the effort in meshing, whilst increasing coupling between the mesh resolution and…
We are pleased to announce that Applied CCM has been named the Pointwise Distributor of the Year for 2019. Martin Leahy received the award from Pointwise executive vice presidents John Steinbrenner and Rick Matus (pictured below) at the recent annual…
Introduction In this month's blog we use Pointwise as a pre-processor for performing a CFD analysis with ANSYS Fluent and OpenFOAM from the same Pointwise mesh. The geometry (Figure 1) is that of a glider and comes from the examples…
We are pleased to announce an upcoming mesh adaption webcast coming live on the Applied CCM YouTube channel on Monday 11th November 2019. Details are below. Title: Python, Pointwise and Caelus: CFD driven automatic re-meshing Date/time youTube link live: Monday…
CFD simulations involving three dimensional (3D) complex geometry have become the norm. This hasn't lessened the need for two dimensional (2D) simulations. Sometimes geometry and flow are such that a 2D simulation is the most appropriate approach. An example is…
Introduction The August article features the scripting of a Pointwise mesh by using Pointwise's Glyph scripting functionality. The publicly available Glyph script "CreateOH" is used to automatically create a 2D structured "O-H" surface mesh (domain) from a set of circular…
The July mesh features the meshing of a Raspberry Pi - also known as a raspi. We will show details of a Pointwise mesh, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of the thermally driven flow inside a simplified raspi and…
Background The June mesh showcases the Pointwise meshing and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of a horizontal wind turbine placed under a twin deck bridge. This case was meshed in February, however we have now added a turbine rotor near…
In the case study, “Pointwise and the Evolution of Faster, Easier, More Reliable Automated Meshing,” learn more about user-independent automated meshing and take a look at the latest meshing technologies under development at Pointwise. Automatically generated mesh after three user-independent…
