Survey Results: Mesh Types, Part 2
Summary
The Mesh Types survey included several questions with short-form answers and we shared that data last month. Regardless, if you saw our recent blog article about our intern’s work you saw that he tested our new poly (half-edge, half-face) data structure by creating the Voronoi duals of meshes in Pointwise. “If I could have a feature added in my current workflow, it would be to handle going from small to large cells in a very smooth way.” See answer above. Our approach is based on use of a sparse dataset from the flow solver (a point cloud) that we use as a clustering source. “Higher Order Meshes.” This has been an active area of research at Pointwise for several years and in 2018 we launched the first, commercially available, high-order mesher for CFD.
