University Program for the Americas

Recognizing the importance of supporting the academic Engineering community, we are offering your university the opportunity to take advantage of a special licensing program. We are providing your students with the chance to take advantage of STAR-CCM+ by offering various licensing options.

CD-adapco's new fluid dynamics code, STAR-CCM+, is the new standard in the industrial CFD community, and is now available to universities at a monumental discount. State-of-the-art modeling and software technology has resulted in a code that is above all, renowned for its outstanding ease-of-use.

The greatest asset we built into STAR-CCM+ in our strive for ease-of-use is polyhedral meshing. CD-adapco is the first and only CAE company to master the technology of polyhedral meshing. Ultimately, this unprecedented capability in CFD will enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of your students' learning by combining both the speed of tetrahedral meshing with the accuracy of hexahedral meshing. To learn more about this breakthrough, click here.

The speed and accuracy brought about by STAR-CCM+ and polyhedral meshing will vastly benefit your pre-designed curriculum, lab work, and students' independent projects. CFD simulations with STAR-CCM+ can validate your experimentation results and aid in design optimization.

Most importantly, participating in CD-adapco's University Program will empower your students by granting them access to a tool - polyhedral meshing - that is available only with STAR-CCM+, and is now the industry standard in engineering.
