: The Glyph scripting language remains a powerful tool for automating repetitive tasks. Cons :
Pointwise V18.3 R1 (now part of the Cadence Fidelity Pointwise suite) is a significant update for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) engineers, primarily known for introducing and enhancing user workflow efficiency . Key Features & Enhancements pointwise-18-3-r1
: Reviewers at Best CFD Software highlight Pointwise’s ability to give users precise "bottom-up" control over every aspect of the grid. : The Glyph scripting language remains a powerful
: V18.3 introduced the ability for users to define their own keyboard shortcuts, allowing for faster navigation and operation during the meshing process. : The diagnostic tools were overhauled for better usability
: The update extends these voxel capabilities to "hex-core" techniques, which can be imprinted onto symmetry planes, further automating the volume meshing process for complex structures.
: Later refinements within the V18.3 cycle (specifically R2) pushed surface meshing speeds up to 5x faster on benchmark grids through multi-threading and improved algorithms.
: The diagnostic tools were overhauled for better usability. The most frequent functions are now centralized on a single tab, and the overall interface for mesh quality inspection is simplified.
