“The new version offers so many meshing productivity improvements, it will require a series of webinars to demonstrate them all,” said Travis Carrigan, Pointwise technical sales engineer and host of the first webinar.
Carolyn Dear, manager of support and consulting for Pointwise, will answer questions.
To register for the half-hour webinar, go to www.pointwise.com/webinar.
This first webinar will familiarize participants with Pointwise’s meshing terminology, the user interface, and the general meshing process. Discover how to
- Navigate the GUI and manipulate the scene
- Select and work on collections of objects efficiently
- Use the keyboard and mouse accelerators to reduce extraneous “clicks”
- Become proficient with the Pointwise meshing process and terminology
No prior knowledge of Pointwise is necessary to participate in the webinar.
Enhancements to the new version of Pointwise include the ability to read native CAD files from ACIS, Catia V4/V5, Pro/E, NX, Solidworks, Parasolid and STEP. Other features to be discussed in the webinar include Solid Meshing that reduces time spent on geometry cleanup, plus layering that organizes geometry and grid for easy access, even with extremely complex models.
The webinars also will cover the latest developments in T-Rex, a proprietary, anisotropic mesh technique that quickly builds high-quality unstructured and hybrid grids on difficult geometries. The webinars will be fast-paced with plenty of time for questions.

Mr. Carrigan joined Pointwise as a technical sales engineer after completing his M.S. in aerospace engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington in May 2011. He interned at Pointwise beginning May 2008, producing demonstration and application videos and working in technical support, doing grid projects and quality assurance testing. He received his B.S. in aerospace engineering in 2009 from UTA.
Ms. Dear has more than 10 years experience in mesh generation for a range of application areas, with a specialty in unstructured viscous mesh generation. At Pointwise, she is manager of the Support and Consulting Team. Before joining Pointwise, she was a member of the NSF Engineering Research Center’s Computational Simulation and Design Center at Mississippi State University, where she earned a B.S. and an M.S. in Aerospace Engineering.
