STAR-CAD Series V3.02: CAD and PLM-embedded
flow and thermal solution for Design and Professional engineers.
CD-adapco
New York and London February 28, 2008
CD-adapco today announced the release of the STAR-CAD Series V3.02, a range of CAD and PLM-embedded simulation environments that allow engineers and designers to perform advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analyses.
From this release onwards, STAR-CAD Series will adopt the same version numbering as STAR-CCM+, which it is released simultaneously with. In STAR-CAD Series V3.02, the latest STAR-CCM+ V3.02 solver technology is embedded within leading CAD and PLM environments, giving users access to cutting edge industrial CFD technology from the comfort of CATIA V5, Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, SolidWorks or NX.
The latest version incorporates STAR-CCM+ V3.02 surface remesher, automatically improving the quality of surface triangulations, and is compatible with the latest versions of the CAD and PLM environments used by our customers (CATIA V5 r15 to r18, Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2 and 3, SolidWorks 2006, 2007 and 2008, NX 3 and 4).
The STAR-CAD Series is specifically created to enable Design and Professional engineers to undertake flow and thermal analyses directly within their company’s chosen CAD and PLM environment. Using the power of associativity, any design change made in response to the results of the CFD simulation, is reflected almost immediately in the CFD solution. Solutions are updated at the click of a button without additional user intervention.
According to Jean Claude Ercolanelli, CD-adapco’s Vice President Product Management, the latest release provides users with more choice in their approach to simulation: “By releasing STAR-CAD Series simultaneously with STAR-CCM+ not only are we providing our users with the latest solver technology from within their CAD or PLM environment, but we are also giving the opportunity to step into the STAR-CCM+ environment at any time, and utilize its full range of modeling capabilities.”
