Simcenter STAR-CCM+is a complete multiphysics solution for the simulation of products and designs operating under real-world conditions. Uniquely, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ brings automated design exploration and optimization to the simulation toolkit of every engineer, allowing you to efficiently explore the entire design space instead of focusing on single point design scenarios.
In 2004 STAR-CCM+ was presented to the public as the first solution able to solve fluid flow and heat transfer problems simultaneously. With the software, flexible license options and Cloud, HPC-enabled uses were introduced, revolutionizing the simulation industry at that time. STAR-CCM+ now encompasses nearly every aspect of Multiphysics modeling and simulation and is the principal CFD solution of Siemens Simcenter portfolio.
