FORT WORTH, TX (4 February 2013)—Pointwise is offering a special short course, Meshing Forensics: How to Recover When Things Go Wrong, on 19 March as part of the Pointwise User Group Meeting. The course, taught by Travis Carrigan, Pointwise senior engineer, will be at 4 p.m. at the Embassy Suites Fort Worth – Downtown.

The course is meant to provide answers for those times when a mesh takes a turn for the worse and it’s hard to know what to do next to improve its quality. The course will cover how to

• Improve grid quality by mastering the Examine command • Identify situations in which join and split operations are not applicable • Quickly find and patch holes or gaps in the geometry and mesh • Recognize an empty or poorly initialized grid and fix it

The Pointwise User Group Meeting will be 19-20 March. Early registration, which includes a 24 percent discount off the registration fee, ends 8 February. For more information, go to www.pointwise.com/ugm.

Mr. Carrigan joined Pointwise as a senior engineer after completing his M.S. in aerospace engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington in May 2011. He interned at Pointwise beginning May 2008, producing demonstration and application videos and working in technical support, doing grid projects and quality assurance testing. During a prior internship at Vought Aircraft Industries, Mr. Carrigan worked as a quality engineer on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner Program. His thesis subject was “Aerodynamic Shape Optimization of a Vertical Axis Wind Turbine.” He received his B.S. in aerospace engineering in 2009 from UTA.
