Siemens Simcenter STAR-CD 2019.1.2 (4.32.000)

Siemens PLM Software (formerly CD-adapco) is pleased to announce the availability of Simcenter STAR-CD 2019.1.2 is the latest version of the STAR-CD/es-ice suite, designed to address outstanding issues arising from previous releases and to significantly improve the setting up and running of IC engine cases.

STAR-CD/es-ice/DARS 2019.1 what's new

Do you want to include more physics and chemistry into your combustion system design process? The latest release of STAR-CD/es-ice/DARS, version 2019.1 is now available. Get access to a host of new features and enhancements including:

- Use chemical mechanisms with thousands of species and get results overnight with the new optimizations and speed-ups in our detailed chemistry solver
- Improve the prediction of evaporation and mixture formation in GDI engine simulations with our new flash boiling model
- Get a better flow prediction in refined areas and in near-wall regions through the new Low Reynolds RNG K-Epsilon model with hybrid wall functions
- Create laminar flame speed and flamelet libraries with mechanisms of any size quickly and efficiently using DARS



With an ever-increasing emphasis on emissions and energy sustainability – from legislators and consumers alike – challenges for Powertrain teams continue to grow, Whether it’s a new fuel, new combustion model or a new lightweight material, realistic simulation is an integral tool in successfully bringing new technologies to market. As the long-time leading provider of CFD technology to the automotive industry, with over two decades of intake-to-tailpipe industrial know-how, CD-adapco is fully dedicated to helping our customers to meet these challenges. Together, es-ice and STAR-CD have become the solution of choice for automotive engineers engaged in Internal Combustion Engine development.Currently, STAR-CD and es-ice is used by more than 60 engine manufacturers and service providers.

If you are new to CD-adapco products then getting your head around the differences will not be easy. The truth is hidden behind a smoke screen of marketing. adapco has said that its marketing tells you get plus what is coming. Difficult to separate the two at times.

Star-CD has considerably more physics that STAR-CCM+, however STAR-CCM+ can handle about 60% of all the work done by STAR-CD. You will find the differences in the physics at the top end. Star-CD has more combustion models, more multi-phase models, for example. STAR-CCM+ cannot handle moving mesh or coal combustion for example, whereas Star-CD can.

STAR-CCM+ is actually easier to use than Fluent. Star-CD comes with prostar. Only OpenFOAM is harder to get to grips with than prostar.

Your current choice of code depends on what you want to model because some models are only available in Star-CD. However, you can run STAR-CCM+ with a Star-CD license. This makes migration easier.

STAR-CD 2019.1 is the latest version of the STAR-CD/es-ice suite, designed to address outstanding issues arising from previous releases and to significantly improve the setting up and running of IC engine cases.

Siemens PLM Software (formerly CD-adapco) is a global engineering simulation company with a unique vision for Multidisciplinary Design eXploration (MDX). Engineering simulation provides the most reliable flow of information into the design process, which drives innovation and lowers product development costs. Simulation tools, led by the flagship product STAR-CCM+, allow customers to discover better designs, faster. The company's solutions cover a wide range of engineering disciplines including computational fluid dynamics (CFD), computational solid mechanics (CSM), heat transfer, particle dynamics, reacting flow, electrochemistry, acoustics and rheology.
