CFD-GEOM Filters
Sometimes during the creation of a geometric model it
is possible to have overlapping (duplicate) points,
line, edges, and faces. This can also occur when CAD
files are imported into CFD-GEOM. The user usually finds
this situation when trying to do additional
operations in CFD-GEOM.
Scripting and Journaling in CFD-GEOM V2007.2
In CFD-GEOM V2007.2, scripting and journaling are now available.
Several improvements have been made to scripting, such as fewer modules
that are arranged in a more logical manner, more robust functionality,
etc. As in previous versions of CFD-GEOM, the Python scripting
language is still used to create the CFD-GEOM scripting functions. If
you are interested in scripting and journaling in CFD-GEOM, please read

Surface Trimming Utilities and Shortcuts in CFD-GEOM
CFD-GEOM provides several
surface and trimming loop creation tools. Surface creation and trimming
can be greatly simplified, depending upon what you want to do with the
surfaces. In most of the cases, surfaces are used to generate
unstructured triangular and quad meshes on trimmed surfaces.
Creating Repetitive Geometries in CFD-GEOM
CFD-GEOM has a wide range of geometry creation and
manipulation tools. The translation and duplication
tool is especially useful for creating geometries
that consist of repetitive parts and/or symmetries.

Edge Substitution/Removal for Surfaces in CFD-GEOM
A new Edge Substitution/Removal tool is available in CFD-GEOM V2008.0.
This tool is designed to facilitate much easier modification of surface
boundaries. This tool can be used to substitute in/out edges for
curves/lines that are used in the creation of a surface.
