CD-adapco, a provider of multidisciplinary engineering simulation software, has released STAR-CCM+ 11.02. This version, according to the company, has new modeling capabilities that bring productivity and usability enhancements.
In version 11.02, CD-adapco introduces Data Focus, a visualization technique that lets users explore and interrogate results interactively. The software also has 40 new user-submitted ideas. According to a press release, they include:
- Local Surface Remeshing: allows for remeshing only selected areas when changing mesh parameters or performing design changes, reducing surface mesh generation time up to an order of magnitude.
- Native Cylindrical Primitive Particle Types in DEM: reduces turnaround time and improves accuracy by representing particles, such as tablets or pellets, using true cylinders as opposed to a collection of spheres.
- Co-extrusion in Computational Rheology: expands the application scope of STAR-CCM+ to include complex extrusion processes involving multiple material streams.
- Hinged Multi-Body Motion: allows for accurate modeling of complex dynamic fluid body interaction scenarios where multiple parts are coupled together with common mechanical joints.
- Fluid-Structure Interactions of Rotating Bodies: enables efficient two-way FSI coupling by simulating rotating solid parts in a local rotating frame of reference, leading to significant time savings in throughput, specifically for applications in the Marine Industry.
