The following list outlines the Pointwise options along with their default value available through the AIM interface.
- Proj_Name = NULL
This corresponds to the output name of the mesh. If left NULL, the mesh is not written to a file.
- Mesh_Format = NULL
Mesh output format. Available format names include: "AFLR3", "VTK", "TECPLOT", SU2, "Nastran". This file format is written from CAPS, and is not the CAE solver in Pointwise.
- Mesh_ASCII_Flag = True
Output mesh in ASCII format, otherwise write a binary file, if applicable.
- Mesh_Sizing = NULL
These parameters are implemented by overriding PW: attributes. See Mesh Sizing for additional details.
- Mesh_Length_Factor = 1
Scaling factor to compute a meshing Reference_Length via:
Reference_Length = capsMeshLength*Mesh_Length_Factor
Reference_Length scales all input parameters with units of length

Maximum turning angle on connectors for dimensioning (0 - not used). Influences connector resolution in high curvature regions. Suggested values from 5 to 20 degrees.
- Connector_Deviation = 0.0
Maximum deviation on connectors for dimensioning (0 - not used). This is the maximum distance between the center of a segment on the connector to the CAD surface. Influences connector resolution in high curvature regions.
- Connector_Split_Angle = 0.0
Turning angle on connectors to split (0 - not used).
- Connector_Prox_Growth_Rate = 1.3
Connector proximity growth rate.

Number of Voxel transition layers if Algorithm set to Voxel (V18.3+).
- Block_Boundary_Decay = 0.5
Volumetric boundary decay.
- Block_Collision_Buffer = 0.5
Collision buffer for colliding T-Rex fronts.
- Block_Max_Skew_Angle = 180.0
Maximum skew angle for T-Rex extrusion.
- Block_Edge_Max_Growth_Rate = 1.8
