Automated Simulation for Vehicle Analysis

Course Duration: 2 Days

Prerequisites

Attendees should be advanced users of STAR-CCM+. Prior knowledge of Java would be beneficial, but not required.

Who Should Attend

Engineers desiring to create automated simulation processes for their vehicle thermal and aerodynamic simulations (VSim).

Course Description

Advanced STAR-CCM+ class focusing on automation using vehicle simulation Java macros. Attendees will learn the basics of Java to use, modify, and expand on methods within the VSim scripts available through Java hut.
