The technique extrudes layers of high-aspect ratio, right-angle-included tetrahedra outward from a surface mesh.

In this new release of the technique, extrusion from a quadrilateral surface mesh begins with a single pyramid, after which the usual tet extrusion begins.

The resulting tets (and that first pyramid) are post-processed into stacks of hexes.

Large manufacturing firms and research organizations worldwide rely on Pointwise as their complete CFD preprocessing solution.

Version 17.2 also includes updated compatibility with CGNS, FUN3D, ANSYS Gambit, STAR-CD, and SCTetra; support for the OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, and CentOS Linux distributions; several productivity improvements; and defect corrections.

The main new feature in this latest release of the software is an extension of the T-Rex hybrid meshing technique to create layers of near-wall hexahedra.

Those tetrahedra are post-processed (optionally) by combining three successive tetrahedra into a prism.

Also, a user-positionable light source has been added as shown in Figure 2.

This way you can use the Rules to identify bad grids, select them, and have them remain selected for the Solver or other commands.

GAMBIT neutral files are ASCII based and store mesh and boundary condition information.
