iges), by CAD creation using the built-in CAD modeling tools, or by mesh import from 3rd party tools. Geometries are initiated by CAD import (.stl. Workflow organization is from top to bottom in the “Simulation” tree on the left, while system level commands are accessed via the toolbar at the top. Tools are organized to streamline workflow from CAD creation or import, through meshing, setup, simulation and processing of results. Batch commands for all processes can also be issued through the command line or through scripts written in Java. The user can access all pre-processing, simulation, and post-processing tasks from within this single interface. STAR-CCM+ is available for both Linux and Windows operating systems without major differences to the interface.

STAR-CCM+ offers a very clean, modern interface a result of the complete overhaul of the original STAR-CD software that took place in 2005. STAR-CCM+ is now a Computational Aided Engineering (CAE) solution for solving multidisciplinary problems in both fluid and solid continuum mechanics within a single integrated user interface. STAR-CCM+ is the leading provider of Multiphysics to the automotive industry which contributed 52% of CD-Adapco’s revenue at the time. Their customer base at the time was around 3,200 at an average revenue of $65,000 per customer. At the time of its acquisition by Siemens AG in 2016, CD-Adapco’s annual revenue was around $200M and was growing at a CAGR of 12%. In time, these contributors and others founded the company known as CD-Adapco with the aim to bring CFD to the masses. STAR-CCM+, and before that STAR-CD, was originally developed by researchers in Imperial College’s CFD research group in the late 1980s. In full disclosure, Resolved Analytics became a Siemens Channel Partner in 2020 supporting sales of STAR-CCM + after initially posting this series.
