STAR-CAD Series: CAD-embedded Design-centric CFD

The STAR-CAD Series enables engineers to manage flow and thermal problems from the comfort of their chosen CAD environment. This approach delivers a number of compelling benefits over the traditional simulation process:

• designers and analysts are not required to learn a specialist simulation package
• the simulation is directly associated with the geometry, enabling parametric “what-if” design evaluations
• associativity with parametric CAD models allows easy modification of parts without the need to redefine units, materials or boundary conditions, saving time and improving productivity.

No other approach will get from CAD model to an accurate CFD solution more quickly or more reliably.

Empower your design teams
The STAR-CAD Series has been specifically developed for designers and analysts. Problem set-up and input/output requirements have been automated and integrated into the CAD environment, so that users can concentrate on evaluating engineering results and optimizing designs and take full advantage of CD-adapco’s advanced simulation technology.

Hassle free set-up
Using the CAD specification tree or the simulation wizard menu, new users can swiftly set-up and run industrial-strength CFD calculations, using the STAR-CAD Series full range of physical modeling capabilities, including: laminar and turbulent flow; thermal loads; conjugate heat transfer; rotating machinery; compressible and incompressible flow; and porous materials.

Reasons to choose the STAR-CAD Series

Speculate, Simulate, Innovate!
The STAR-CAD Series enables engineers to evaluate “what-if” design scenarios, quickly and easily. Its bi-directional associativity means all changes to the CAD model are reflected in the CFD results, at the click of a button. The STAR-CAD Series equips you with the insight to deliver products to market faster, while improving quality and bringing further innovation.
