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.
The course, taught by Travis Carrigan, Pointwise senior engineer, will be at 4 p.m. at the Embassy Suites Fort Worth – Downtown.
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.
