Solution-Based Mesh Adaptation with Pointwise and ANSYS CFX

 

Improve CFD simulation efficiency and accuracy using solution adapted meshing

Simulation-driven design relies heavily on high-quality CFD simulation results. Mesh adaptation is an essential tool for controlling discretization error in your simulations. Pointwise provides a solver-independent mesh adaptation method that maintains adherence to geometry. Curious as to how Pointwise mesh adaptation can be applied to your engineering simulation workflow? Nick Wyman and Steve Karman from Pointwise along with Paul Galpin from ISimQ held a Let’s Talk Meshing Live Q&A about mesh adaptation to answer people’s questions on this subject. Watch this webinar to learn how mesh adaptation can help make your CFD process more efficient and accurate.

Discover how to:

  • Use mesh adaptation to efficiently resolve a flowfield
  • Adapt by locally adding grid points or order elevation
  • Enable user independent CFD solutions
