Simcenter STAR-CCM+ offers a fully integrated environment to go from CAD to mesh to solution all in one package with robust automated processes.
Recent improvements to Simcenter STAR-CCM+ allow users to obtain better results for hypersonic flow applications than ever before.
The release of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2021.3 includes many new features and enhancements to assist in streamlining simulation workflows.
The overset mesh method is a powerful tool for simulating motion within a CFD analysis, and can also be used for design optimization.
Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ is a dynamic and automated method that refines or coarsens the mesh as the solution develops. This method allows you to accurately solve a simulation with less cells, thus decreasing run time and getting results faster.
The Data Mapping functions within Simcenter STAR-CCM+ have a wide range of capabilities for interfacing with exterior programs or improving your own workflow in STAR-CCM+. The most traditional use of Data Mapping is mapping pressures for Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) and co-simulation.
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Screenplay enables you to easily create custom animations that illustrate your analysis and demonstrate your CFD simulations. Join Clay Hearn, Phd, Staff Mechanical Engineer at Applied CAx, for this Screenplay how-to video that provides instructions on how to set up animations and record them for your presentations.
STAR-CCM+ offers a wide array of methods for importing and manipulating geometry to begin the analysis. There are tools available for direct importation of geometry to repair, defeature, and extract volumes of interest. The most powerful tool comes from the utilization of the 3D-CAD to establish bi-directional connectivity between the CAD model and simulation. By defining a parameterized CAD model and automating meshing operations, STAR-CCM+ can quickly and efficiently explore the design space.
This online seminar provides an introduction into building and importing geometry within STAR-CCM+. We will look at how to handle surface mesh data which may lack any CAD description and how to manipulate CAD geometry to defeature and extract a fluid volume. Last, we will look at building parameterized CAD models and using the meshing toolbox to automate volume extraction and meshing.
