User Guide
Tutorials show you how to use Simcenter STAR-CCM+ for various applications in a step-by-step format with recommendations for setup, initialization and steps of the solution process specific to the application. Macro and simulation files are available for download for a large proportion of cases.
The tutorials in this set illustrate various STAR-CCM+ features for building CFD meshes.
Macros, input files, and final simulation files for a range of tutorials are provided as an optional download package on the Support Center website. These macros and final simulation files are provided as an aid to the written tutorials, so that you can check your final results against the downloaded files, or against a simulation that is built and run using the macros.
Welcome to the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ introductory tutorial. In this tutorial, you explore the important concepts and workflow. Complete this tutorial before attempting any others.

This tutorial demonstrates how to use the surface wrapper to extract the internal fluid surface from a collection of parts that represent an intake manifold assembly.
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ provides a suite of tools to help you prepare surface geometry so that it is ready for meshing. This tutorial provides an introduction to some of these tools, using the example of a brake assembly.
This tutorial demonstrates how to set up a simulation using the parts-based meshing approach.
This tutorial demonstrates how to use the surface and volume meshing operations within Simcenter STAR-CCM+ to generate a polyhedral volume mesh with prism layers for a single region. The inputs required to build a trimmed cell mesh with prism layers are also covered.
This tutorial demonstrates how to use the surface and volume meshing tools while working with multiple parts within Simcenter STAR-CCM+.
This tutorial demonstrates how to use the directed meshing tool in STAR-CCM+. Directed meshing allows you to generate a high-quality structured mesh by creating quadrilateral elements on a surface of a body and then sweeping them through its volume.
Local wrapping speeds up re-execution of the surface wrapper after local changes are made to the input geometry or wrapper settings.
When using the surface wrapper for geometries that have feature-level holes or gaps, you can find that the core wrapper is unable to cover the whole surface with a closed wrap. To assist, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ provides a gap closure option that detects and fills these larger voids in the surface.
When modelling the flow in turbomachinery applications, a flow-aligned structured mesh is required for accurate solution analysis. The Turbomachinery Mesh operation in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ generates a flow-aligned structured mesh from user-specified input surfaces and parameters.
