An Introduction to Pointwise Plugin Development

In this webinar, we present an introduction to writing a Pointwise plugin using the CAE plugin software development kit (SDK). The SDK is an application programming interface (API) that you can use to program Pointwise to export your mesh to your solver-specific format. Plugins written using the SDK integrate seamlessly into the Pointwise user interface and can also be accessed using Glyph, our scripting language.

During the webinar, we will share information on

Best practices for creating your SDK environment
References and techniques for determining the relevant SDK commands and syntax
Downloading, installing and configuring the SDK
Creating a plugin project
Accessing Pointwise's grid model
Building and distributing your plugin
