Siemens Star CCM+ 2020.1.0 double precision

The Simcenter product team is pleased to announce the availability of new release of Simcenter STAR-CCM+2020.1.0. With this release, we are enabling faster meshing, smarter solvers and greater collaboration to help you make better engineering decisions in hours to achieve your next innovative breakthrough.

What’s New in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2020.1.0
These latest features speed up every step of your CFD simulation process.

Reduce computational overhead with adaptive mesh refinement (AMR)
The new adaptive mesh refinement, or AMR, is the industry’s first model-driven AMR. This feature lowers computational time for the same accuracy by dynamically refining the mesh where needed. The free-surface model-driven AMR intelligently refines cells to resolve the gas-liquid interface, reducing smearing. The Overset-mesh model-driven AMR intelligently ensures that cell sizes at the interface are compatible. All of this is achieved without any user interaction.

Faster meshing with the next generation parallel polyhedral meshing
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ pioneered the polyhedral mesh for industrial CFD simulation. In 2020.1, we deliver the next generation polyhedral mesher. Re-written from the ground-up for parallel performance, meshes build up to 30 times faster than in serial. You get a consistent mesh regardless of the cores used and a more effective mesh distribution with the same accuracy and robustness.

Improved ease of use with simplified coupled solver settings
Automatic controls dramatically improve the ease-of-use and robustness of the coupled solver. This delivers faster convergence to solution giving users additional speedup. Now, all flow regimes, from incompressible through fully compressible, run straight out of the box – no tuning necessary – with performance that rivals (and often exceeds) those best-practices that used to take time and experience to develop.

Effective communication of results using collaborative virtual reality (VR)
Collaborative VR in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ allows teams across the globe to interact in the same immersive virtual environment in real time, enhancing communication and speeding up decision-making. Multiple VR clients can now be connected and synchronized to the same simulation, with avatars showing the location of other users and providing the ability to tether together to get the same experience.

Faster innovation with many more new features
These are just the highlights. The latest release brings many other new capabilities driven by our vision for the future of CFD simulation and by listening to our customers.

WHAT'S NEW in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2020.1



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.

The additional insight gained by using Simcenter STAR-CCM+ to guide your design process ultimately leads to more innovative products that exceed customer expectations.

Matt Godo explains how virtual reality in STAR-CCM+ allows anyone to explore a simulation model in an intuitive and immersive sense, increasing insight, and empowering innovation.
