Productivity Increased productivity with an easy-to-use,repeatable workflow

STAR-CCM+ seamlessly fits into your existingprocess to give you the power to handle themost complex problems in an interface that iseasy to learn, use and remember. Designedwith extensive and ongoing feedback fromour customers, STAR-CCM+ is an intuitiveand modern analysis environment thatguides users effortlessly through setting up,

running, and analyzing complex engineeringsimulations.

STAR-CCM+ significantly increasesengineering productivity through a consistent,repeatable and easily automated workflow,allowing professional engineers to spendtheir time concentrating on actual engineeringanalysis, rather than geometry preparation,meshing and model setup.

PRODUCTIVITY & EFFICIENCYEfficiency A unique single integrated environmentensuring efficient deployment of resources.

Employing a unique process-orientedapproach to engineering simulation,STAR-CCM+ eliminates bottlenecks byautomating time-consuming tasks suchas repairing complex and poor quality CADmodels or repeating simulations on multipledesign variants.

STAR-CCM+ makes you more efficient byallowing you to fully automate your CAEsimulation workflow at a component, systemand process level using JAVA macros and thesimulation assistant. The Simulation Assistantallows the user to write step by step workflowsthat execute actions within STAR-CCM+. Theseassistants allow analysis best practices to becaptured and repeated, ensuring accuracy ofresults with automation of everything fromsimple boundary condition changes throughto custom panels encapsulating simulationworkflow.

With JAVA scripting, automatic design-to-design solution mapping and parametric3D-CAD, STAR-CCM+ is the tool of choicefor digital prototyping and iterative designstudies.

InDesA came to the conclusionthat there is a demand fora highly optimized virtualtest environment that is fast,flexible and cost-efficient incomparison with traditionalphysical testing. STAR-CCM+delivers us the optimalperformance required.

ROBUSTNESS & RELIABILITYRobustnessRobust CAD model handling & preparation

STAR-CCM+ has a comprehensive suite ofgeometry creation and preparation tools thatsignificantly reduce the number of man-hoursrequired to ensure that your model is readyfor meshing.

This process is robust and can be runinteractively or automated in batch. STAR-CCM+delivers all the tools required to obtain ahigh-fidelity representation of the geometry.

STAR-CCM+s CAD clients offer the chanceto leverage advanced capabilities from withinyour familiar CAD and PLM environment. Withfull bi-directional associativity, boundary setupand both polyhedral and trimmed cell meshing,CAD clients allow analysis to be easilyintegrated into your engineering design andoptimization process.

Our 3D-CAD modeling tool allows you to import,create and modify parametric geometries aswell as automatically extract fluid domains. Thesurface wrapper shrink-wraps a high-qualitytriangulated surface onto the geometry,closing holes, joining disconnected andoverlapping surfaces as well as automaticallydiscarding obsolete surfaces. The STAR-CCM+single integrated environment provides thefastest, most automatic route from complexCAD models to engineering solution.

Reliability Fully automatic meshing

STAR-CCM+ meshing provides superiorautomation, speed, control and reliability. Theaccuracy and fidelity of the numerical solutionis highly dependent on a good quality meshand the powerful meshing tools in STAR-CCM+cut down the geometry preparation andmeshing time from weeks and months tohours, while delivering a high-quality mesh oncomplex geometries.

STAR-CCM+ can mesh the most complexgeometries reliably while giving flexibilityto the user to choose the level of controldesired. Employing state-of-the-art meshingtechnology the generation of either trimmedhexahedral or arbitrary polyhedral cells ispossible with a single click. Parallel meshingis available for the trimmed cell and polyhedralmeshers allowing users to fully utilize hardwareresources to reduce turnaround time.

STAR-CCM+ also has tools to automaticallygenerate prismatic meshes for thin objectssuch as sheet metals and cylindricalgeometries such as pipelines, cyclones andmanifolds.

Fully conformal meshes across multiplephysical continua may be automaticallycreated ensuring optimal accuracy andcomputational efficiency, removing the

need for any interpolation at the interfaceof different domains. STAR-CCM+ is ideal forproblems involving moving parts, fluid-structureinteraction or conjugate heat transfer.

Changing to STAR-CCM+ wasthe best decision we evermade.

Flexibility A flexible approach to parallel processing withclient-server architecture.

With an ever increasing need for analysis usingsophisticated, realistic models, STAR-CCM+ isdesigned to utilize your hardware resources aseffectively as possible. Whether the computenodes are a cluster of workstations or a singlesupercomputer, STAR-CCM+ allows the userfull interactive access to all simulation dataand solutions while running.

The software is deployed as a client thathandles the user interface and visualization,and a server which performs the computeoperations. When executed in parallel,STAR-CCM+ is scalable across any number ofprocessors allowing very large analyses to beperformed, monitored and manipulated fromlaptops or lightweight workstations.

The client/server approach is designedto facilitate easy collaboration acrossorganizations, simulations can be accessedindependently of physical location and localcomputer resources.

STAR-CCM+ has a number of Power licensingoptions giving you complete flexibility on how,and where, you utilize hardware resources.Power Session licenses allow STAR-CCM+to be launched on an unlimited number ofcores for a fixed cost. Power-on-Demand isyour gateway to analysis on the cloud whereSTAR-CCM+ usage is counted by time, notnumber of sessions or processor count.Power Tokens may be used to run concurrentdesign variants in an exploration or optimizationcampaign, to start a pre-post session, or asparallel core licenses for standard analyses.

Accuracy Ensuring accuracy through a complete range of validated physics.

With STAR-CCM+ there is no need to compromise ease-of-use over capability or accuracy.STAR-CCM+ includes an extensive range of validated physical models that provide the user witha toolset capable of tackling the most complex multi-disciplinary engineering problems.
