STAR-Design is a CAD integrated CFD tool for design engineers. It is
a stand-alone package with a solid modeler, automatic mesher, solver
and visualizer all included. A unique feature is that the computational
meshes are formed from polyhedral cells, allowing the solver to achieve
faster and more accurate solutions than conventional CFD codes. It has
the ability to handle applications involving complex
incompressible/compressible, laminar/turbulent and industrial flows, as
well as heat transfer. The advantage of the polyhedral approach is that
it combines the benefits linked to both tetrahedral and hexahedral
meshes, i.e. quick and robust automatic mesh generation and quick,
robust and accurate CFD solutions.

STAR-Design helps engineers needing to carry out quick up-front
parametric studies within their design processes. The engineer simply
builds a model using the built-in solid modeler, or alternatively
imports a model from one or more Parasolid files, and then assembles
and modifies the geometry as required. Following this, a volume mesh
is created using fully automated surface repair and meshing tools. The
user then simply adds flow and boundary conditions, runs a calculation
and visualizes the results. This enables different what-if scenarios
to be quickly and easily assessed by simply changing parameters.
