Productivity
Increased productivity with an easy to use, repeatable workflow.
STAR-CCM+ seamlessly fits into your existing process to give you the power to handle the most complex problems in an interface that is easy to learn, use and remember. Designed with extensive feedback from our customers, STAR-CCM+ is an intuitive and modern analysis environment that guides users effortlessly through setting up, running, and analyzing complex engineering simulations. STAR-CCM+ significantly increases engineering productivity through a consistent, repeatable and easily automated workflow, allowing professional engineers to spend their time concentrating on actual engineering analysis, rather than geometry preparation, meshing and model setup.

InDesA came to the conclusion that there is a demand for a highly optimized virtual test environment that is fast, flexible and cost efficient in comparison with traditional physical testing. STAR-CCM+ delivers us the optimal performance required

Efficiency
A unique single integrated environment ensuring efficient deployment of resources.
Employing a unique process-oriented approach to engineering simulation, STAR-CCM+ eliminates bottlenecks by automating time-consuming tasks such as repairing complex and poor quality CAD models or repeating simulations on multiple design variants. STAR-CCM+ makes you more efficient by allowing you to fully automate your CAE simulation workflow at a component, system and process level using JAVA macros. Leveraging of these techniques allows analysis best practices to be captured and repeated, ensuring accuracy of results with automation of everything from simple boundary condition changes through to custom panels encapsulating simulation workflow. With JAVA scripting, automatic design-to-design solution mapping and parametric 3D-CAD, STAR-CCM+ is the tool of choice for digital prototyping and iterative design studies.

..::STAR-CCM+ : ROBUSTNESS & RELIABILITY

Robustness
Robust CAD model handling and preparation.
STAR-CCM+ has a comprehensive suite of geometry creation and preparation tools that significantly reduce the number of man-hours required to ensure that your surface is ready for meshing for either a single part or a large assembly. This process is robust and entirely automatic; whether run interactively or in batch, STAR-CCM+ features all the tools required to obtain a high-fidelity representation of the geometry. The inbuilt 3D-CAD tool allows for parametric geometry creation, import and modification as well as automatic fluid extraction. The surface wrapper shrink-wraps a high-quality triangulated surface onto the geometry, closing holes, joining disconnected and overlapping surfaces as well as automatically discarding obsolete surfaces. The STAR-CCM+ single integrated environment provides the fastest, most automatic route from complex CAD models to engineering solution. In addition, STAR-CCM+ gives the choice of using CAD and PLM-embedded front-ends to deliver the entire simulation workflow.

Changing to STAR-CCM+ was the best decision we ever made.

Reliability
Fully automatic meshing.
STAR-CCM+ meshing offers the ultimate combination of automation, speed, control and reliability. The viability of deploying CFD simulation within the industrial CAE process often depends on the ability to quickly generate a high-quality computational mesh. STAR-CCM+ can mesh the most complex geometries reliably while giving flexibility to the user to choose the level of control desired. Employing state-of-the-art meshing technology the generation of either hexahedral, dodecahedral or arbitrary polyhedral cells is possible at the touch of a button. STAR-CCM+ produces boundary trimmed meshes that strictly conform to your geometry, as well as high quality prism layer meshes for greater accuracy. STAR-CCM+ also has tools to automatically generate prismatic meshes for thin objects such as sheet metals and cylindrical geometries such as pipelines, cyclones and manifolds. Fully conformal meshes across multiple physical continua may be automatically created ensuring optimal accuracy and computational efficiency, removing the need for any interpolation at the interface of the different domains. STAR-CCM+ is ideal for problems involving moving parts, fluid-structure interaction or conjugate heat transfer.

Flexibility
A flexible approach to parallel processing with client server architecture.
With an ever increasing need for analysis using complex, realistic models, STAR-CCM+ is designed to utilize your hardware resources as effectively as possible. Whether the compute nodes are a cluster of workstations or a single supercomputer, at any time, STAR-CCM+ allows the user full interactive access to all simulation data and solutions while running. The software is deployed as a client that handles the user interface and visualization, and a server which performs the compute operations. When executed in parallel, STAR-CCM+ is scalable across any number of processors allowing very large analyses to be performed, monitored and manipulated from laptops or light weight workstations. Unique licensing options also allow STAR-CCM+ to be distributed across an unlimited number of processors for a fixed cost. The client/server approach is designed to facilitate easy collaboration between members of a team, as simulation progress can be accessed independently of physical location and local computer resources. STAR-CCM+ has a number of licensing options including 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 of cores for a fixed cost. Power-on-Demand is your gateway to analysis on the cloud where STAR-CCM+ usage is counted by time, not number of session or processor count.

STAR-CCM+ gave me the impression of incredible flexibility compared to previous software I used in the past.
