pointwise16.01正式发布
The Latest Update
Pointwise Version 16.01 represents a major increase in meshing capability relative to the software';s initial release. Capabilities have been added across the board to the core capabilities delivered in Version 16.00. These include meshing features like Extrude and Distribute, but also interface tools like measuring distances and Select Adjacent. Many of these new features are unique to Pointwise and not available in Gridgen. Also, more of your favorite tools from Gridgen have been migrated to Pointwise.
Features Unique to Pointwise - Not Available in Gridgen
Floating boundaries have been added to the structured solver so that the grid';s faces can move with the PDE solution resulting in a smooth grid across the blocking topology.
The Layer Manager has been extended to work with grid entities so their visibility can be managed just as easily as database entities.
Extrusion fronts are automatically assembled from the entities you select. Of course, manual tools are available to customize the topology of the extrusion front.
Arclength break points let you set a clustering location on a curve relative to the curve';s overall length rather than just at a fixed location. This is perfect for parrametric remeshing of families of related geometries.
Select Adjacent and Select All Adjacent are automated selection tools that will find the neighbors (or the complete neighborhood) of one entity that you select. These two tools can be customized with a turning angle limit so make them stop at feature lines. Together, they make it easy to select a large number of entities with very little effort. For example, they';re great for selecting the wetted surfaces of a solid part.
More Functionality
•All of the algebraic extrusion methods and associated controls are now available.
•All of the grid point distribution tools have been implemented including copying distributions and creating subconnectors.
•oint probing and measurement have been implemented.
•Intersection edges from shells (faceted geometry) are now automatically joined into long curves.
•Three distinct modes for drawing circles have been implemented.
•The Orient command has been extended to connectors, domains, and database entities.
•Join has been extended to work with database curves and surfaces.
•Splitting now provides the ability to select a curve';s control points as the split location.
•Image rotation points can now be entered via text in addition to selection.
•The Smooth command is now available.
•The Edit Curve command can now convert a curve to a generalized Bezier form allowing control over the slopes at each control point.
•The Merge by Picking command is now available.
Tangent lines are now visible when creating and editing conic arcs.
