Gridgen`s synergistic implementation of CAD and grid geometry modeling
- Pointwise, Inc., Bedford, TX (United States)
The concept of dual-use CAD and grid data was implemented in Gridgen. A common data format was developed; point, curve, and surface creation capabilities that are applicable to both grid and model geometry were developed and implemented; geometry modification utilities applicable to both grid and model geometry were developed and implemented; and these capabilities were demonstrated through the repair and idealization of a real-world geometry. The results show that by using a common toolkit for CAD and grid geometry, programming effort is reduced, users can repair CAD without access to a CAD system, and grids could be generated using many of the powerful functions available within CAD systems without the CAD overhead.
