How to Improve Productivity using Simcenter STAR-CCM+?

The customer today wants smart products customized as per their demands. Businesses are challenged to improve the quality and the range of their products while reducing cost and time to market. In addition, they also need to meet stringent regulatory legislation to ensure energy-efficient and environmental-friendly products. 

To meet these changing demands businesses have to innovate continuously to come up with new designs to rapidly meet the market demands. Design engineers are challenged to efficiently navigate a number of potential design changes to improve the product while ensuring those changes do not compromise the product. They also need to be able to predict how these products will perform. 

Evolve your Engineering Processes with STAR-CCM+ 

To solve complex industrial problems you need simulation tools that span a variety of physical phenomena and engineering disciplines. Simcenter™ STAR-CCM+ software from Siemens PLM Software is the best in the class simulation tool that can help you gain a competitive advantage. The STAR-CCM+ software helps enhance the engine simulation capabilities digitally and helps understand how a product will perform in the real world using the digital twin. 

It delivers accurate solutions through automated workflows, facilitating analysis of complex real-world problems. With STAR-CCM+, you can predict product performance effectively and get the necessary engineering insight to guide your product design process from start to finish. 

The single integrated user interface, STAR-CCM+ has an integrated multiphysics nature that improves accuracy in results. You don’t need to learn and connect multiple tools.  Simcenter STAR-CCM+ is a simulation solution for: 

• Fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, fluid-structure interaction, heat transfer, particle dynamics, reacting flow, electrochemistry, multiphase flow, particle dynamics, reacting flow, electrochemistry, electromagnetics, acoustics, and rheology 
• Replication of rigid and flexible body motions with techniques including mesh morphing, overset mesh and six degrees of freedom (6DOF) motion. Realism through Multiphysics 

• Combining the various physics and motion models in a single simulation to cover your specific application 

High-fidelity Simulation with an Intuitive, Integrated User Interface 

Accessed from a single integrated user interface, STAR-CCM+ offers an easily accessible API that enables coupling to other simulation tools for the purpose of co-simulation when needed. With powerful native automation, you can increase your productivity and instantly communicate the results of your simulations with videos. 

Predicting the Performance of Products 

Using the single simulation model that hosts the geometry, mesh and all the required physics and analysis results, STAR-CCM+ ensures the predicted result will match the actual performance of your product. You also get engineering insight to guide your product design process from beginning to end. The software also gives you the capability to connect with third-party codes through its co-simulation application programming interface (API). 

• Maintaining Innovative Collaboration   

Offering high-fidelity simulation technologies within an intuitive, integrated user interface, STAR-CCM+ accelerates Innovation and cross-functional collaborative teamwork. This integration enables you to quickly explore a range of configurations to find the best product design configuration. Whether you are a new design engineer or research and development (R&D) simulation expert, you don’t need to compromise between ease of use and functionality. 

• Saving Time with Workflow Automation 

By automating the simulation workflow, STAR-CCM+ using a robust and repeatable workflow approach enables you to make design changes faster while maximizing productivity. The designs can be reused and updated with minimal effort. By incorporating simulation early in the Product design process you can reduce engineering hours and project simulation cost.   

• Achieving Faster Results through High Performance   

The STAR-CCM+ offers parallel scalability and is tested keeping in mind the future, on over 100,000 cores. These resources can be utilized when such computational power becomes the industrial standard. Moreover, with a range of affordable and customizable license options, Simcenter licensing is designed to maximize the value of your hardware and fully leverage your investment in the simulation technology.
