STAR-CD V4: Advanced Automatic Meshing

Jarrod Murphy, ING Renault F1 Team

"Because STAR-CD's automatic meshing technology can automatically create meshes with a core-hexahedral structure, blocks containing entire components can simply be "lifted out" of the mesh and replaced with revised meshes of just that section. This dramatically reduces run-times and ultimately makes CFD the only viable tool for brake cooling analysis. "

Advanced automatic meshing technology generates either polyhedral or predominantly hexahedral control volumes at the touch of a button, offering the ultimate combination of speed, control and accuracy.

An important part of mesh generation for accurate CFD simulation, is the near-wall region, or extrusion-layer mesh.  STAR-CD V4 automatically produces a high-quality extrusion layer mesh on all walls in the domain.  In addition, you have the option to control the position, size, growth-rate and number of cell layers in the extrusion-layer mesh.

This combination of high quality automatic polyhedral mesh generation and efficient solver technology should provide you with ease-of-use, faster turnaround times and increased solution accuracy, for all classes of flow, in all application areas.
