Adaptation with Pointwise and CFX
“mesh adaptation method that maintains adherence to geometry”
Step # 6: Adaptation Sensors
“selection of the adaptation function is critical”
Radial and Other Slices
“One way of understanding volumetric data is to take a slice out of it”
Interactively debug Python/Glyph scripts
“set breakpoints and display the contents of variables”
Step # 5: Track and Review the Solution
“the L-2 norm of the residual in the entire domain”
Triangulation to visualize “unorganized” data
“By customer request, triangulation is again available”
Automate import of PCDs, Grids-with-BCs
“Python coders: wish no more!”
Sample Problem: the Backward Facing Step
“an important branch of fundamental fluid mechanics”
Velocity Profiles
“a standard parabolic velocity profile is prescribed”
Point Clouds for Mesh Refinement
PCD format files can include target spacing for each point
