STAR-CD V4: From Fluid Dynamics to Continuum Mechanics

Isabelle Lavedrine,
ARUP San Francisco

“Although CFD is traditionally thought of as a specialist application, its use is becoming increasingly widespread and mainstream throughout industry, opening up to expert and non-expert users alike.”

With a 20-year heritage of providing solutions to the most complex problems that fluid mechanics has to offer, STAR-CD has a long established a reputation for being the most versatile platform for industrial CFD simulation.

But STAR-CD is more than just a CFD code. The latest release, STAR-CD V4, introduces the capability to perform structural analysis calculations using a methodology based upon its industry-leading CFD solver technology, the first time that a comprehensive solution for flow, thermal and stress simulation has been available in a single general-purpose commercial finite-volume code.

In bridging the gap between fluid dynamics and structural-mechanics, STAR-CD V4 brings the routine solution of a whole new class of engineering problems within the reach of regular industrial users.

STAR-CD V4 is now fully polyhedra enabled; bringing state-of-the-art solver technology to STAR-CD users, without compromising the advanced modeling and complex physics capabilities for which STAR-CD is the undisputed market leader. By using the latest polyhedra-solver technology, STAR-CD V4 delivers significant benefits in speed, robustness and usability.
