STAR-Design: Intuitive flow and thermal simulation for Design.

STAR-Design’s intuitive user environment makes it the ideal tool for those Engineers who are not Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) specialists. Utilizing CD-adapco’s powerful CFD technology (including a polyhedral meshing solver) means that ease-of-use does not compromise accuracy. STAR-Design’s 3D solid modeler and geometry import allows engineers who don’t use CAD to directly create and manage geometry for simulation.

 

In the design cycle: Specifically designed for use within the design cycle, STAR-Design has a number of features that enable quick but accurate “what-if” design studies on product performance . These include:

Geometry control without CAD:
Many CFD engineers rely on CAD engineers to provide geometry definitions, without geometry control themselves. STAR-Design’s easy-to-use parametric geometry modeling and geometry import allows CFD engineers to directly create and manage geometry for simulation.

Leading CFD technology:
STAR-Design utilizes the industry leading CFD technology behind STAR-CD and STAR-CCM+. These tried, tested and trusted CFD codes have been chosen by thousands of engineers worldwide, across every industry sector. By utilizing this technology and applying CFD best practices, STAR-Design users gain easy-to-use CFD insight without compromising accuracy. Its physical modeling capabilities include: laminar and turbulent flow; thermal distributions; conjugate heat transfer; rotating machinery; compressible and incompressible fluids; and porous materials.
