Pointwise is a software solution to the top
problem facing engineering analysts: mesh
generation for computational fluids
dynamics (CFD).
[URL]
http://www.pointwise.com/
NOTE:
First things first:
2009-03-24 Pointwise.v16.02.R2.MACOSX-Lz0
is *NOT* working properly.
The problem is quite simple and easily illustrated.
Fact 1)
Lz0s release does not work on Intel-Macs, as can be seen from
the screenshot 16.02.r2_lz0_osx_i386.PNG
Fact 2)
Even if it did work on Intel-Macs (which it doesn't), it's still a
*NON* working release because Pointwise on MacOS X is build as a
so called "fat Mach-O binary", which means that every binary file includes
i386 code for the Intel-Macs as well as ppc code for the (older) PowerPC-Macs.
The unix tool "file" shows this clearly when used on libggtypes.dylib:
TBE2011:Frameworks MacAdmin$ file libggtypes.dylib
libggtypes.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
libggtypes.dylib (for architecture ppc): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc
libggtypes.dylib (for architecture i386): Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386
Lz0 obviously didn't know about these "subtleties" of OS X, despite the
fact that there are even two versions of the tetrahedral meshing tool
"pointwise_tet" and "pointwise_tet_ppc" - but more on that below...
Employing an OS X tool called lipo(suction), fat binaries can be "thinned" so that we
can compare them more easily for each architecture of OS X.
The screenshot 16.02.r2_osx_liposuction.PNG shows that TBE patches both the i386 and the ppc
part of the library, whereas Lz0 chose to only patch i386.
Therefore Lz0s release *CANNOT* work on PowerPc-Macs !
This illustrates clearly that Lz0s release
Pointwise.v16.02.R2.MACOSX-Lz0
is *NOT WORKING*, whereas TBEs release works on every
modern Mac running OS X (check screenshots 16.02.r2_tbe_osx_*.PNG) !!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now on to some comments regarding the *alleged* proper release of the linux versions:
TBE was *well aware* of the license-related changes in the pointwise_tet
command line utility. The fact is, it is only used from within the
Pointwise-GUI when creating unstructured meshes.
If Lz0 had bothered to check how it is used, they would have found the following:
pointwise_tet is called from within libggentities.{dll,so,dylib}.
We show some disassembly from the windows-version of this library:
.text:10158CF8 call ds:?setenv@GgPlatform@@SAXPBD0@Z
; GgPlatform::setenv(char const *,char const *)
...
.text:10158D2E call ds:?exec@GgPlatform@@SAJABV?$vector@VGgString@@@gg@@AAVGgExecCheck@@ABVGgString@@2@Z
; GgPlatform::exec(gg::vector const &,GgExecCheck &,GgString const &,GgString const &)
As can be clearly seen, an environment variable is set before pointwise_tet is executed.
Upon closer inspection it turns out to be GHS3D_SOC007=PW0007.
And what a surpise, setting this env-var enables full functionality of pointwise_tet !
The following output makes this abundantly clear:
Z:\>pointwise_tet

--- Doesn't work, but it's not supposed to - pointwise_tet is *NOT* a standalone tool !!! ---
Now let's check the behaviour when called from within the Pointwise-GUI:

PRINT PARAMETER ?
--- Working fine, as expected. So crude patching of this binary is more than unnecessary... --
So hopefully everyone can see that Lz0s so called proper releases
2009-03-25 Pointwise.v16.02.R2.PROPER.LINUX.x64-Lz0
2009-03-25 Pointwise.v16.02.R2.PROPER.LINUX-Lz0
are dupes of the *FULLY WORKING* TBE rels
2009-03-25 Pointwise.v16.02.R2.LINUX-TBE
2009-03-25 Pointwise.v16.02.R2.LINUX.x64-TBE
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And finally a note on Lz0s behavior/style:
Before accusing other groups of not properly checking their releases
in a more than rude way, better check your *OWN* stuff properly !
Understanding how programs actually work helps a lot, whereas wildly
patching anything that gives error-messages when used *improperly*
is just poor cracking-style ...
