STAR-CD V4: From Fluid Dynamics to Continuum Mechanics


With a 20-year heritage of providing solutions to the most complex problems
that fluid mechanics has to offer, STAR-CD has a long established a
reputation for being the most versatile platform for industrial CFD
simulation.

But STAR-CD is more than just a CFD code. The latest release, STAR-CD V4,
introduces the capability to perform structural analysis calculations using
a methodology based upon its industry-leading CFD solver technology, the
first time that a comprehensive solution for flow, thermal and stress
simulation has been available in a single general-purpose commercial
finite-volume code.

In bridging the gap between fluid dynamics and structural-mechanics, STAR-CD
V4 brings the routine solution of a whole new class of engineering problems
within the reach of regular industrial users.

STAR-CD V4 is now fully polyhedra enabled; bringing state-of-the-art solver
technology to STAR-CD users, without compromising the advanced modeling and
complex physics capabilities for which STAR-CD is the undisputed market
leader. By using the latest polyhedra-solver technology, STAR-CD V4 delivers
significant benefits in speed, robustness and usability.



STAR-CD Product Features

Versatility and control
STAR-CD V4 can be used ?straight-out-of-the-box? to tackle a wide range of
engineering problems.

Flow, Thermal, Stress
STAR-CD V4 is the first general-purpose commercial finite-volume code that
is routinely able to perform Computational Continuum Mechanics simulations.

Capable of simulating engineering problems that involve turbulence,
combustion, heat transfer, reacting flows and multiphase physics.

From CAD to CFD solution
STAR-CD can import geometries and models from almost any CAE tool, and
automatically generate a computational mesh at the click of a button..

Advanced automatic meshing
Advanced automatic meshing technology generates either polyhedral or
predominantly hexahedral control volumes at the touch of a button
