FINE/Open: import mesh from pointwise
 

Hi,

i am a first time user of Numeca and i am wondering if it is possible to import a already existing hybrid grid generated in Pointwise into FINE™/Open.

Does anybody know how which solver i have to choose?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Vanessa,

As far as I'm aware, there is not a direct export to Numeca's products. They use their own integrated meshing tool. However, you may want to see if they are able to import CGNS as this is a standard format for CFD meshes that Pointwise can export.

And there is always the option of creating a CAE exporter plugin for this format.

how to import numeca mesh into pointwise

Poinwise does not support the Numeca grid format.

To import Numeca grids, your only option is to create a Grid Import plugin for this format.

Otherwise, you will need to export the grid from Numeca to a format supported by Pointwise such as CGNS.
