Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2506 released. What’s new?
Unlock higher fidelity and flexibility for e-machines analyses
Engineers working with electric machines often struggle with accurately modeling current density redistribution through solid coil cross-sections, leading to less accurate performance predictions. With the latest release of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2506, you can now utilize a new dedicated excitation coil model specifically designed to simulate voltage-driven solid conductors. This approach provides higher fidelity and better usability of both the Finite Element and Harmonic Balance Finite Element Magnetic Vector potential solvers. The new capability allows voltage-driven solid conductors to be modeled natively in both time and frequency domains, eliminating previous limitations. This enhancement enables you to simulate a whole new family of electromagnetic analyses in e-machines, delivering more accurate predictions of performance and efficiency.
Simulate bending structures up to 7x faster
Standard linear hex elements are known to be too stiff in bending deformation, exhibiting the “locking” effect that requires more expensive element formulations. The latest version of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ introduces enhanced linear hex elements that provide the accuracy of quadratic elements at the computational cost of linear elements. You can now experience up to 7x faster simulation of thin structures with bending deformation, as demonstrated in a structure-only simulation with 83,282 elements. This advancement is particularly valuable for applications involving thin-walled components under bending loads, such as sheet metal parts, thin structural members, and lightweight designs. The enhanced formulation maintains accuracy while significantly reducing computational requirements, allowing for more design iterations and larger models within the same computational budget.
Optimize complex manufacturing processes with advanced contact modeling
Manufacturing processes like blow molding or film/sheet extrusion often involve components constrained or manipulated by adjacent parts, making accurate simulation impossible without contact modeling. Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2506 introduces contact modeling with unmeshed constraining geometry parts for the viscous flow solver, opening possibilities for detailed simulations of a whole new category of manufacturing applications. You can now define constraining geometry parts as stationary or moving via rigid body motion, with walls that may be slip, partial slip, or no-slip. The free surface may contact and be constrained by parts, allowing for realistic simulation of complex manufacturing processes. This advancement enables engineers to accurately predict material behavior during forming processes, leading to optimized designs and reduced physical prototyping.
Improve meshing of thin parts for faster convergence
Quality meshing of thin structures is critical to simulation convergence for many applications, and has traditionally been challenging to achieve efficiently. The latest release of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2506 features a new thin volume mesher designed to enhance detection and handling of thin geometries throughout the computational domain. You can now generate meshes where a larger percentage of the overall volume is filled with thin prisms, with improved treatment of stacked thin sections. The enhanced algorithm provides improved transition between thin layer and unstructured meshes, with curve segments now fully compatible. These improvements result in higher-quality meshes for thin structures, leading to faster convergence and more accurate results for applications involving heat exchangers, electronic components, sheet metal parts, and other geometries with thin features. The enhanced meshing capabilities reduce the need for manual mesh adjustments, streamlining the overall simulation workflow.
