Pointwise 18.4 Release 4 Release Notes - Date: May 2021

Resolved Issues
PW-23347 Initializing a block, that previously initialized successfully, failed in 18.4 R3.
PW-23464 Applying a scaling factor to a sphere caused Automatic Surface Mesh to fail.
PW-23472 Structured solver was not properly applying edge spacing parameters.
PW-23485 Higher order Gmsh files were not being read correctly into nek5000
PW-23496 Curved line sources were not correctly honoring parametric spacing differences.
PW-23516 An unstructured block with multiple periodic boundaries as well as a match domain caused the block to error and not initialize.
PW-23518 Importing a point data cloud resulted in an unexpected exit.
PW-23520 Creating domains on database gradually used all memory until it was exhausted, then caused Pointwise to close.
PW-23530 Exiting the Add/Remove Edge feature early caused the tool to malfunction if it was reused.


Pointwise is solving the top problem facing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) today – reliably generating high-fidelity meshes. The company's Pointwise software generates structured, unstructured, overset and hybrid meshes; interfaces with CFD solvers such as ANSYS FLUENT, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, and SU2 as well as many neutral formats, such as CGNS; runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac, and has a scripting language, Glyph, that can automate CFD meshing. Manufacturing firms and research organizations worldwide have relied on Pointwise as their complete CFD preprocessing solution since 1994.

The latest release of Pointwise’s computational fluid dynamics (CFD) mesh generation software includes a native interface to the AzoreCFD flow solver. In addition to the AzoreCFD plugin, Pointwise Version 18.4 R3 includes several smaller productivity enhancements.

AzoreCFD is a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software tool for analyzing fluid flow and heat transfer. CFD provides engineers and scientists a method for analyzing a wide array of fluid mechanic, thermal, and chemical problems numerically on a computer. Many different types of fluid dynamic situations can be simulated using AzoreCFD, including air, gas, liquid, or particulate-laden flows.

Pointwise, the Choice for CFD Mesh Generation.
