STAR-CD V4: Versatility and control

Based on advanced solver technology, with a comprehensive range of physics models and the ability to automatically create high quality computational meshes, STAR-CD V4 can be used ‘straight-out-of-the-box’ to tackle a wide range of engineering problems.

However, if the complexity of the problem demands, STAR-CD V4 is uniquely versatile, allows users to customize and control every aspect of the simulation process. If you need to move your mesh on a node-by-node basis in response to your solution, STAR-CD V4 will help you do it. If you need to use a physics model that is specific to your problem, STAR-CD V4 will let you add one. STAR-CD constantly pushes back the boundaries of simulation. If an engineering problem can be solved using CFD, STAR-CD can help you to solve it.

“Many people in the industry told us that we wouldn’t be able to simulate the complex motion of our PSZ oil-pump using CFD. With STAR-CD we have proved them wrong.  The insight we have gained through using CFD simulation has helped us to develop better oil-pumps, more rapidly than ever before.”
