STAR-CCM+ Add-on Modules

Simcenter STAR-CCM+ automatically checks out any license that it needs for add-on modules.

A list of the add-on modules, along with the feature licenses that they use, is provided below:

• Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Batteries (which uses the batterysim feature license)
• Simcenter STAR-CCM+ In-cylinder (which uses the enablestarice feature license. Alternatively, as long as you don't use Simcenter STAR-CCM+ In-cylinder in a design study with Design Manager, you can use the proice feature license together with the enablereactivemodels feature license.)
• Simcenter STAR-CCM+ JTOpen Reader (which uses the JTOpen feature license)
• Simcenter STAR-CCM+ CAD Exchange Reader (which uses the cadexchange feature license)

For example if you load a simulation file that contains items from the battery module, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ checks out an available batterysim feature license.

Add-on licenses are checked out when:

• an add-on feature is used in a simulation
• the license is requested from the command line
• it is specified in the Add-on Licensing dialog
• it is reserved in the options dialog

Add-on licenses are checked in when:

• a simulation is closed
• a requiring feature is removed
• it is deactivated from the Add-on Licensing dialog

You can set up your simulation in your native CAD package environment using one of the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ CAD client add-ons.
