Siemens Star-CCM+ 2506.0001 (20.04.008)

Siemens Digital Industries Software has released Simcenter Star CCM+ 2506.0001 (20.04.008) is a multiphysics CFD software that enables CFD engineers to model the complexity and explore the possibilities of products operating under real-world conditions.

Render photorealistic visuals faster. Speed up design optimization. Mesh complex assemblies efficiently. Simulate bending structures quickly. And more.

The latest release of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2506 delivers significant enhancements across CFD simulation workflows, enabling you to tackle complex problems with greater efficiency. With improved performance in meshing, solver technology, and new visualization capabilities, users will experience easier set-up, higher accuracy, faster simulations, and compelling results representations. The release introduces GPU acceleration for particle simulations and photorealistic rendering, enhanced bending capabilities for structural analyses of valves, and improved contact modeling for manufacturing applications like blow-molding. New features like voltage-driven solid coils for electric machine simulation and efficient gear system configuration in conjunction with Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) expand Simcenter STAR-CCM+ applicability across industries. Optimized algorithms for surface remeshing and thin parts meshing ensure more robust and faster convergence for challenging geometries.


- CADM-14035 Fix the SIGSEGV memory access exception that occurs when a simulation is saved after using the 3D-CAD explode view feature.
- CAEI-7231 Change the Functional Mock-up Unit (FMU) so it steps after Simcenter STAR-CCM+ exports the fields when the Concurrency Option is Lead.
- CAEI-7238 Fix the custom selection of an Abaqus version in co-simulation, so that the condition error no longer occurs when the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ simulation file is initialized.
- CCMSPH-859 Fix hydrostatic leakages that occur with Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) on a GPU when using the Boundary Integral Method (BIM) boundary formulation.
- DPM-1983 Fix the sampling of Lagrangian injectors so that the polynomial weighting is consistent.
- HPC-4573 Sum up GPU memory consumption across all devices with same process ID.
- HPC-4607 Add a warning when a legacy distribution of UCX is auto-selected but the system's version of UCX supports more transports.
- IMM-5342 Fix the internal error that occurs when changing a body in specific DFBI couplings.
- IMM-5356 In the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ user interface, prevent running dynamic DFBI setups with Smoothed-Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), since the two features are not designed to be compatible in version 2506.
- IMM-5358 Fix the misleading warning message that is generated for DFBI Kinematics on Windows platforms.
- MFW-4216 For serial meshing operations, remove warnings that contain excessively long code.
- PVIZ-9084 Fix a possible exception that occurs during creation of a scene.
- PVIZ-9200 Fix the infinite loop in the remote renderer process that occurs when opening an uninitialized scene.
- REA-5915 Fix a storage error that occurs when clearing the solution and then re-running.
- VMESH-8246 To prevent volume mesh hangs, make sure that the conformality transforms are globally consistent before the initial mesh synchronization in the tetrahedral meshing pipeline.
- VMESH-8268 Fix the field function coloring for the prism layer of polyhedral meshes.
