CD-adapco STAR-CCM+ v11.04 engineering simulation software

CD-adapco has announced the release of its STAR-CCM+ v11.04 engineering simulation solution. This release is aimed at empowering engineers across industries to make critical design decisions quickly and with confidence through more modelling capabilities, improved simulation workflows and reductions in overall time-to-solution.

The product has added features drawn from the CD-adapco customers’ innovation forum. They include expanded multiphase simulation capabilities for turbomachinery users, for applications such as pumps and wet gas compressors; increased accuracy and faster time-to-solution for marine and oil and gas users due to a wave forcing model; and automatic time-step adjustment for transient runs.

Aerospace and ground transportation users benefit from features enabling steady-state fluid film simulations, when appropriate, for applications such as water management and aircraft icing, while there is increased flexibility and ease of use for ground transportation and electronics customers when modelling conjugate heat transfer of composite laminate structures.

The introduction of 3D finite element electromagnetics further expands the STAR-CCM+ multiphysics platform to model electromagnetic problems for applications such as electric machines, transformers and plasma devices.
