Product Overview
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Software is a Computational Aided Engineering (CAE) solution for solving multidisciplinary problems in both fluid and solid continuum mechanics, within a single integrated user interface.
- Geometry
  Simcenter STAR-CCM+ imports geometries from, and integrates within, leading CAD and PLM systems. Simcenter STAR-CCM+ also offers a built-in capability for modifying and creating CAD geometries directly.
- Mesh
  Simcenter STAR-CCM+ provides a complete set of capabilities for both surface and volume meshing operations.
- Physics
  Simcenter STAR-CCM+ is a multiphysics platform that solves systems of equations derived from the fundamental laws of physics. Scenarios with multiple time scales can be solved within the same simulation.
- Solvers
  Numerical algorithms solve the systems of equations that Simcenter STAR-CCM+ constructs from the chosen models and their boundary conditions.
- Data Analysis
  Simcenter STAR-CCM+ provides tools for analyzing simulation results both numerically and visually.
- Design Exploration
  In Simcenter STAR-CCM+, Design Manager provides an automated approach for running design exploration studies. Design exploration covers both performance assessment and optimization. In addition to Design Manager, all functions within the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ environment can be automated using Java macros.
- Interaction with CAE Software
  Simcenter STAR-CCM+ provides data mapping to other tools, file-based coupling, and tightly coupled co-simulation
- Application-Specific Tools
  Simcenter STAR-CCM+ includes tools for specific industry applications. These tools shorten the time required for creating and analysing typical cases that those industries require.
- Usability and Productivity
  The Simcenter STAR-CCM+ client provides several features for an efficient, automatable, and extensible simulation framework.
