OVERVIEW


FIDELITY POINTWISE CFD MESH GENERATION

CADENCE FIDELITY POINTWISE UTILIZES INDUSTRY LEADING MESH GENERATION TECHNIQUES
AS WELL AS GEOMETRY MODEL PREPARATION CAPABILITIES FOR HIGH FIDELITY
CHARACTERIZATION OF THE FLUID DOMAIN.

If you ask any engineer or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) enthusiast,
meshing is the most time-intensive part of the CFD workflow with one of the
highest impacts. We know that the process can be time-intensive but is vital to
ensuring high-accuracy and high-efficiency CFD simulations moving forward.

Fidelity Pointwise doesn’t settle just for industry leading CFD meshing. One of
our greatest points of pride in Fidelity Pointwise is its capacity to integrate
into just about any CFD simulation workflow. Through our mesh export and import
tools and pre-built relationships with other strong solvers and simulation
tools, you can trust that Fidelity Pointwise will enhance existing
workflows. The entire team dedicated to supporting and advancing Fidelity
Pointwise is deeply connected to the meshing community and involved in industry
roundtables, panels, and influential guidelines like the CFD 2030 plan(opens in
a new tab). With Pointwise you can trust in progress.

Key Benefits


SAVE TIME AND IMPROVE FIDELITY WITH EXCELLENT QUALITY MESH GENERATION

Depending on where you are in your production cycle, you might be looking for
fundamentally different highlights in your CFD tools. Whether you’re in final
verification and want the utmost accuracy or are just starting out in your
simulations and want speed and computational efficiency, Fidelity Pointwise has
what you need. 

HYBRID, OVERSET, AND HIGH-ORDER MESHES

With meshes growing into the hundreds of millions and even billions of cells,
having an assortment of hexahedral, overset, and high-order cell definitions
enables explorative examination. 

EASE OF INTERFACE WITH ANY SIMULATION WORKFLOW

Fidelity Pointwise recognizes that CFD users will often be getting the best
available solution from a multitude of products and ensures that you will
maintain access to your top quality meshes no matter the workflow. 

MESH IMPORT AND EXPORT PRIORITY

Working between geometry models and different software requires ease of import
and export priorities, and we have built Fidelity Pointwise to have just that. 

CUSTOMIZABLE SCRIPTING AND TEMPLATES

With anything monotonous and repetitive we want to have the ability to custom
script or code your own solution to this within our Fidelity Pointwise
environment.


FIDELITY POINTWISE TECHNOLOGIES CHANGING THE WORLD

Realize your CFD potential with the utmost in mesh generation, geometry
preparation, and pre-processing fidelity. Peruse through our video library for
webinars and demonstrations for what Fidelity Pointwise can do in your CFD
workflow.

FIDELITY POINTWISE

Fidelity Pointwise is a stand-alone CFD mesh generator providing the full range
of functionality from geometry model preparation, mesh generation using a
variety of techniques, and compatibility with a broad range of flow solvers.

Features


APPLY EVERYTHING YOU COULD WANT INTO ANY WORKFLOW

Fidelity Pointwise provides excellence in CFD meshing technology. We recognize
that anyone working in a CFD environment is likely to have multiple sets of
direct interfaces, and Fidelity Pointwise is intended to provide Cadence
excellence from many geometry models to most simulation engines or solvers.

 * Any Occasion Mesh Types Available

 * Geometry Model Repairing

 * Meshing for Any CFD Solver Format


ANY OCCASION MESH TYPES AVAILABLE

What you need from a mesh is both simple (complete coverage of the wetted
surface and fluid volume with positive volume cells) and complex (balancing
resolution and cell shape metrics). Add to those general needs the specific
requirements of your flow solver, and you need meshing software that provides
both flexibility and control so that the meshing process is robust and reliable.

 * Structured and unstructured grids

 * Hybrid anisotropic tetrahedra, prisms, hexahedra, and voxels

 * Smooth, clustered, and orthogonal with elliptic PDE methods 

 * Overset grid assembly

 * High-Order mesh for High-Order flow solvers

 
That's why Fidelity Pointwise includes a variety of meshing techniques from
automated to manual, from structured to unstructured to hybrid, from 1D to 2D to
3D, from Delaunay to advancing layer to elliptic PDE to overset and high-order,
all implemented in a multi-block or multi-zone strategy.

GEOMETRY MODEL REPAIRING

Whether you are working with B-Rep NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational Basis Splines)
from more traditional or popular MCAD systems, or using digital geometry forms
from design software, 3D scans, and any other sources, rest assured
that Fidelity Pointwise can work with your geometry models. While flow solvers
continue to develop against the need for robust curvatures and boundary layer
meshes, having an ideal mesh to work from and ensure highest efficiency and
highest accuracy in your converged CFD simulations is vital. 

Through Fidelity Pointwise’s proliferation of both import capabilities from
external geometries and internal meshing types, you will have access to the
tools you need to ensure your geometry model is gapless and ready for anything
the market can throw your way. Whether this is moving toward hypersonic
transportation systems, never seen before peaks of energy efficiency, or
technologies we haven’t even dreamed of yet, trust Fidelity Pointwise to get the
job done.

MESHING FOR ANY CFD SOLVER FORMAT

Apply the standard of excellence in meshing from Fidelity Pointwise to any facet
of your workflow. Within our Fidelity platform or exported to any other current
workflows in place, Fidelity Pointwise will empower your designs. Fidelity
Pointwise has done the work to export mesh files in suitable formats for many of
today’s currently-in-use CFD solutions. Behind the tool there is also a rapidly
supportive team of engineers ready to improve our existing script and glyph
database. Never let export and import elements impede your design. 

Beyond simply enabling the CAD or CAE export files, Pointwise also allows for
the pre-setting of boundary conditions (BC) or volume conditions (VC) such that
you can ensure maximum integrity in the process of transferring your mesh over
to your solvers. Additionally, the Fidelity Pointwise Github Repository(opens in
a new tab) continues to be expanded for any new plugins developed for your CAE
solutions.
