Glyph is a great way to get more out of Pointwise. The scripts provided by Pointwise are excellent: both to make you more productive (for instance, we strongly recommend you make Block-Diagnose a standard part of your simulation-documentation) and to look for examples of different API functions.

We use several smaller Glyph utilitities in our training sessions. Intended to illustrate, these are more verbose and - we think - easier to understand if you're not an expert programmer. Click on a link to download, and contact us if you have any questions.
