ABOUT software

For products and designs that work under real conditions, STAR-CCM+ is a new generation of CFD software under the Siemens Group. It combines modern software engineering technology, the most advanced continuum mechanics numerical technology and excellent design, and integrates the latest achievements and experience of Siemens in the field of CFD engineering consulting for many years. Simcenter STAR-CCM+ is a complete multiphysics solution for simulation. Its uniqueness is that Simcenter STAR-CCM+ brings automated design exploration and optimization to each engineer’s simulation toolkit, allowing them to efficiently explore the entire design space instead of focusing on a single point design scenario.

Integrated working environment, integrated graphical user interface, integrated pre-processing and calculation analysis in the same environment

STAR-CCM+ can realize large-scale parallel computing of about 1 billion grids, and also realizes the multi-CPU parallel function in front and rear processing.

The polyhedral mesh of STAR-CCM+ is as accurate as the hexahedral mesh, and it is as easy to generate and automatically generate as the tetrahedron. It is now mature to apply polyhedral mesh to engineering calculations

The Couple solver of STAR-CCM+ is more accurate for solving supersonic shock waves, natural convection and other engineering problems with strong coupling of velocity, pressure and temperature

STAR-CD/CCM+ uses the same solver to solve flow field, thermal and thermal stress analysis problems: linear stress and small deformation problems

The new surface wrapper function (surface wrapper) can automatically convert the complex and broken CAD model in the engineering case into a closed grid, saving a lot of CAD data manual repair time; automatically generate polyhedral mesh, tetrahedral mesh and Hexahedral mesh without manual intervention; advanced functions such as surface feature maintenance and simplification, contact prevention, leak inspection, automatic or manual surface repair

Multi-physics, continuum-based modeling method. When modeling, define the fluid or solid "continua" and carry the grid and calculation method; the solution domain is divided into various "regions" and carry the physical space. The area will be assigned to a continuum, and different physical spaces can be assigned different calculation methods.

STAR-CCM+ is currently used in almost all important industrial and research fields such as automobile, aviation, aerospace, nuclear engineering, electric power, electronics, petroleum, chemical industry, shipbuilding, household appliances, railways, water conservancy, construction, and environment. Thousands of users.
For example: free surface flow resistance analysis of surface ships, integrated analysis of propeller/rudder, water jet propulsion technology, cavitation/cavitation analysis, cavitation weapon system, underwater weapon launch, ship noise analysis, interior of conventional/nuclear powered ships Thermal analysis
Nuclear power reactor core radiation/heat analysis, water/sodium cooling pipeline
