In this quick tutorial, you’ll learn how to edit a source shape after creation in Fidelity Pointwise. This is a powerful technique for improving mesh quality, grid resolution, and simulation accuracy without starting from scratch.
What you’ll learn in this video:
- How to modify an existing source shape in Fidelity Pointwise
- Adjusting grid resolution and spacing inside source shapes
- Editing shape parameters like radius, length, and geometry
- Using transformations: translate, rotate, and scale
- Refining mesh control for complex geometries like wing tip vortices
Source shapes (size field influencers) are essential tools for controlling surface and volume mesh refinement in CFD workflows. This tutorial shows you how to quickly adapt your mesh setup when design changes occur—saving time and improving efficiency.
💡 Whether you're working on aerodynamics, CFD simulations, or mesh generation, this tip will help streamline your workflow in Fidelity Pointwise.
