You can now generate hybrid, boundary layer surface meshes using the T-Rex (anisotropic triangle extrusion) algorithm.

Tweak, a new command unique to Pointwise, can be used to moved individual grid points in surface and volume meshes.

You can now create and import annotation entities (notes) in the geometry model. Unlike notes in Gridgen, notes in Pointwise are treated consistently whether imported or created and give you the ability to control font, decoration and other attributes.

 Interblock connections can now be overwritten with a flow solver boundary condition for modeling thin surfaces.

Problematic cells that prevent the tet mesher from generating a mesh are now highlighted in order to provide feedback helps direct your corrective actions.

Using Print to File, you can capture the Display window screen and save it to a PNG, BMP, or TIFF file. Optional capabilities can be used to save high-resolution images that are better suited for print publication.

A list of your most recently executed scripts appears at the bottom of the Script menu so you can easily recall and rerun them.

Examination of cell Jacobians has been enhanced through the addition of user options to display and count cells of various Jacobian types. A similar change was made to examination of Database Associativity with counts of points on and off the database.

New capabilities have been added to save (in HTML or plain text), copy, and clear the contents of the Message window. All three capabilities are available by right-clicking in the Message window. Also, a checkbox for clearing the Message window was added to the New command's Restart option.

 A second coordinate axis can be displayed (in blue) at the origin of the X, Y, Z coordinate system.

A shortcut button to Rainbow Colors has been added to the View toolbar so you can apply it to multiple entities without opening the Attributes panel. Also, a new command for applying Rainbow colors was added to the Glyph scripting language.
