: This marquee feature allows for the generation of regular hexahedral cells to fill space between near-wall boundary layers and the far-field. This approach is often more efficient than unstructured tetrahedra and can improve flow solver convergence and accuracy.

: Later refinements within the V18.3 cycle (specifically R2) pushed surface meshing speeds up to 5x faster on benchmark grids through multi-threading and improved algorithms. pointwise-18-3-r1

: Like most high-end CFD tools, it has a steep learning curve for beginners due to the depth of its features. : This marquee feature allows for the generation

: The update extends these voxel capabilities to "hex-core" techniques, which can be imprinted onto symmetry planes, further automating the volume meshing process for complex structures. pointwise-18-3-r1
