CD-adapco Releases DARS v2.10

CD-adapco, a provider of CAE software focused on CFD (computational fluid dynamics), has introduced the latest release of DARS. The application is a standalone simulation tool for 0D and 1D management and analyses of chemical reactions.

Version 2.10, now on the Steve Portal, has features for a library generation functionality that enables users to explore fuel blends and operating conditions for simulations in STAR-CD and STAR-CCM+. For usability, it also has a streamlined workflow to STAR-CD/STAR-CCM+, a new GUI (graphical user interface) and context sensitive library generation.

Productivity enhancements include parallelization of library calculations, a scripting/command line functionality and compact libraries.

“This is our first release of DARS since it became a wholly-owned CD-adapco product, so naturally we  are very excited,” said Jean-Claude Ercolanelli, senior vice president of Product Management, CD-adapco. “This  latest release will really benefit our customers, especially those who are involved with the analysis of new fuels or existing fuels operating under novel operating conditions. All of our products are developed to help engineers make the right decisions early in the design process. DARS v2.10 does exactly that. It enables our customers to predict combustion, chemical processes and emission formation from the earliest stage of the design process, without necessarily having to resort to experimental testing.”
