Surface Wrapper

At the heart of STAR-CCM+ is an automated process that links a powerful surface wrapper to CD-adapco’s unique meshing technology. The surface wrapper significantly reduces the number of man-hours spent on surface cleanup and, for problems that involve large assemblies of complex geometry parts, reduces the entire meshing process to hours instead of days.

The surface wrapper works by ‘shrink-wrapping’ a high quality triangulated surface mesh onto any geometrical model, closing holes in the geometry and joining disconnected and overlapping surfaces, providing a single manifold surface that can be used to automatically generate a computational mesh without user intervention.

STAR-CCM+ also includes a comprehensive set of surface-repair tools that allow users to interactively enhance the quality of imported or wrapped surfaces, offering the choice of completely automatic repair, user control or a combination of both.
