 The
recent arrival of STAR-CCM+ has caused quite a stir in
the CFD community. Four years in development, STAR-CCM+
represents a great leap forward for CFD technology. Employing
the very latest numerical techniques in its state-of-the-art
solver, STAR-CCM+ is designed to tackle tomorrow's CFD
challenges today.
A quick read through the pages of this magazine or the engineering press
in general should quickly convince you of the benefits of the STAR-CCM+ revolution.
However, in order to fully appreciate just how different STAR-CCM+ is, you
need to do more than just read about it, you need to experience it for yourself.
For this reason we're proud to announce the release of a free evaluation
version of STAR-CCM+. This unlimited duration free download, gives you the
opportunity to evaluate the world's most advanced industrial CFD solver.
This evaluation version allows full access to STAR-CCM+'s advanced modeling
technology and is limited only in terms of model size (maximum 16,000 cells
on each of two CPUs).
STAR-CCM+ is designed with a view to the future. Starting from a blank sheet
of paper, we enlisted the world's leading specialists to create a simulation
tool capable of handling the challenges of the next twenty years. Their brief
was simple: to deliver the world's most advanced, robust and easy-to-use
solver, and to completely redefine the way in which CFD is used: more than
just a new solver, STAR-CCM+ is a completely new approach to CFD with a totally
intuitive approach to tasks such as selecting materials properties and defining
boundary conditions. Based on the latest object orientated programming techniques,
STAR-CCM+ is not only easy to use, but also modular in structure, allowing
us to introduce new physical models and solver technology much more rapidly
than other CFD codes. Utilizing face-addressing technology, its data structure
and code architecture are designed to handle meshes of any cell topology
in the most efficient possible manner. Not only is STAR-CCM+ capable of providing
a solution for any legacy mesh, using our unique polyhedral meshes it can
provide accurate solutions three to five times faster than on an equivalent
tetrahedral mesh.
Currently released features are applicable to a wide range of laminar and
turbulent external and internal flows (an impressive suite of turblence models
is included) and capable of handling phenomena such as conjugate heat transfer
and porous media. To experience all of this and more, simply download your
