Which should come first: the surface mesh or the volume mesh?
That’s the choice many mesh generators face, and Pointwise users know that the surface-to-volume (hence “S2V”) approach lends itself nicely to control and excellent viscous layers. But as Cadence works towards integrating Pointwise and Numeca – with its Volume-to-Surface based mesher – into a single CFD platform, take a look at this video for a quick overview of the volume-first approach.
