Pointwise cuts the time to generate high-quality CFD meshes through its flat, intuitive graphical interface that gives rapid access to the powerful meshing techniques Pointwise, Inc. engineers have developed over the last 23 years. In addition, it provides shortcuts through the meshing process like a new automated assembly procedure that builds three-dimensional volume grids from a jumble of grid components with a simple click of a button. Pointwise's usability is further enhanced by a multiple-level undo and redo capability with a user configurable number of levels.

PumpLinx is developed specifically for the analysis and design of pumps and other fluid devices with rotating or sliding components. Version 2.2 includes many improvements in capability and ease-of-use.

The V2007.2 release supplements the October 2006 release of V2007.0 with significant product enhancements and more than 50 maintenance requests offering increased accuracy, robustness and efficiency.

Oil spills and man made pollutants leap to mind at the mention of endangered sea life and toppled ecosystems, but unknown to most laypeople, an everyday event in the world of maritime transport is actually among the most significant threats to marine ecology today.

Without any of the widespread attention given to a toxic spill, cargo ships and other vessels move from port to port around the world and often quietly introduce non-indigenous species that can wreak havoc in their new habitats.

"CEIViz ‘08 is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to receive training, hear about the world’s most advanced applications, and network with the best international minds in engineering and scientific visualization," says Anders Grimsrud, CEI’s president.

A must-attend event for professionals who want to learn about the latest innovations in computational fluid dynamics and structural analysis. The ESSS South American ANSYS Users Conference will join users of ANSYS, ICEM CFD, CFX and Fluent from all of South America.
