Nick has been actively developing Pointwise software for over 9 years. As Manager of Product Development, he led the team through many releases of Gridgen, the reliable CFD mesher, and development of the soon to be released, state-of-the-art, Pointwise product. Prior to joining Pointwise, Nick performed CFD analysis for a wide variety of industries and developed mesh generation software for turbomachinery.

Significant new features in Pointwise’s Gridgen software resulted from prior contracted development projects. For example, the multigrid elliptic solver and solid modeling capabilities were developed in partnership with the United States government. The Applied Research Group plans to build on this success.

About Pointwise
Pointwise is solving the top problem facing engineering analysts today: mesh generation for computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Pointwise's Gridgen software generates structured, unstructured, and hybrid meshes; interfaces with CFD solvers such as FLUENT, STAR-CD, and ANSYS CFX as well as many neutral formats such as CGNS; runs on Windows (Intel and AMD), Linux (Intel and AMD), Mac, and Unix; and has a scripting language that automates CFD meshing. Large manufacturing firms and research organizations worldwide rely on Gridgen as their complete CFD preprocessing toolkit. More information about Gridgen is available on Pointwise's web site, www.pointwise.com.
