University Program for Europe
Recognizing the importance of supporting the
academic Engineering community, we offer students and universities the opportunity
to take advantage of a special licensing program. CD-adapco is providing you
with the chance to take advantage of STAR-CCM+ by offering the possibility to work with our solution in both teaching and research. CD-adapco's fluid dynamics code, STAR-CCM+, is the standard in
the commercial CFD community and is available to the academic community at a monumental
discount.
From CAD to post-processing, STAR-CCM+ delivers the entire CFD process in a single integrated software environment. This unique approach brings unrivalled ease-of-use and automation to CAD preparation, meshing, model set-up and iterative design studies, enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of students' learning.
The speed and accuracy brought about by STAR-CCM+ will vastly benefit your pre-designed curriculum, lab work, and
independent student 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 enhance student résumés through exposure to the industry
standard CFD code, STAR-CCM+.
CD-adapco is also committed to a life long relationship with our student and alumni user base through INSET - the
INstitute for STAR Engineers & Technologists (INSET), which provides a user-life management tool so that as our entire student and alumni user base grows and matures within their engineering careers. Read more about INSET
Licensing Options
CD-adapco offers flexible licensing options of STAR-CCM+ for both professors and students. From CAD modeling to post-processing, STAR-CCM+ delivers the entire CFD process in a single integrated environment. With outstanding ease-of-use and accuracy, it is considered a necessary tool to complement various undergraduate and graduate courses such as, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer and of course, computational fluid dynamics. Included in this teaching package are Academic Teaching Modules which help students gain familiarity with the software through various ‘real-world’ scenarios
