What is Siemens STAR-CCM+
Siemens STAR-CCM+
Siemens STAR-CCM+ is a powerful Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and multiphysics simulation software that enables engineers to test and optimize products faster and more accurately. Known for its automation, scalability, and physics capabilities, STAR-CCM+ gives users the ability to simulate fluid flow, heat transfer, solid mechanics, electromagnetics, multiphase systems, and more, all within a single integrated environment.
Multiphysics Simulation
Instead of relying on multiple disconnected tools, STAR-CCM+ brings a wide range of physics solvers into a single environment. Users have the ability to run Fluid Flow/Aerodynamics, Heat Transfer and Thermal Management, Multiphase and Particle Dynamics and Solid Mechanics/Stress Analysis.
Automation and Design Exploration
Automation tools embedded inside STAR-CCM+ include: Automated Meshing and Model Setup, Scriptable Workflows, Design Exploration and Digital Twin testing. With Design Manager, engineers can use gradient-based optimization, evolutionary algorithms, and AI-assisted search to discover non-intuitive designs that outperform traditional engineering guesses.
Accurate Turbulence and Multiphase Models
Turbulence Models included: RANS (Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes), LES (Large Eddy Simulation) and DES (Detached Eddy Simulation). Multiphase Models include: Free-Surface Flows, Cavitation, Langrangian Particle Tracking, Eularian Multiphase, VOF (Volume of Fluid) and DEM (Discrete Element Modeling).
Key Capabilities
- Fluid Flow & Aerodynamics
- Solve steady and transient fluid flow across compressible, incompressible, laminar, and turbulent regimes. Capture advanced effects like shock waves, separation, cavitation, and free-surface flows for aerospace, automotive, and marine applications.
- Heat Transfer & Thermal Management
- Simulate conduction, convection, and radiation within complex geometries. Evaluate cooling strategies for electronics, batteries, and industrial machinery. Analyze coupled thermal-fluid problems such as engine cooling, HVAC, and heat exchangers.
- Solid Mechanics & Stress Analysis
- Predict structural deformation, stresses, and vibrations under real operating conditions. Run fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations to capture how fluids impact flexible or moving structures.
- Multiphase & Particle Dynamics
- Model multiphase flows such as gas-liquid, liquid-solid, or free-surface interactions. Simulate sprays, bubbles, cavitation, sloshing, and erosion, critical for industries like energy, chemical processing, and ship design.
- Combustion & Reacting Flows
- Perform detailed combustion modeling, from premixed flames to turbulent reacting flows. Support pollutant formation, fuel injection, and emissions reduction studies.
