Ask Applied Engineer: STAR CCM+

Simcenter STAR-CCM+ meshing performance depends on more than software settings. In this Ask an Applied Engineer video, Applied CAx engineer Jaymes Dionne answers three of the most common STAR-CCM+ questions from mid-market engineering teams. He covers how RAM and CPU cores affect meshing speed, since STAR-CCM+ has no direct memory limit setting for meshing. He explains how engineers without a Siemens license can still learn STAR-CCM+ through tutorial walkthroughs and academic license programs. He also shows how to reuse a mesh setup across design iterations using per-part meshing and Overset mesh operations in STAR-CCM+, so small design changes do not require remeshing an entire model. This video closes with a live demo of the Overset meshing workflow inside STAR-CCM+.
