Simcenter STAR-CCM+ is an advanced multiphysics computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solution designed to accurately replicate real-world conditions. As products become more complex, capturing all relevant physical phenomena is essential to predict performance with confidence.
Built as a fully integrated multiphysics platform, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ minimizes assumptions and approximations, delivering accurate, efficient, and comprehensive simulation capabilities across a wide range of engineering scenarios.
With Simcenter STAR-CCM+, you can trust that your simulated results closely reflect real-world behavior. Beyond fluid flow and heat transfer, the software supports multiphase flows, particle dynamics, reactive flows, fluid-structure interaction, aeroacoustics, rheology, and electromagnetics.
Work within one integrated platform covering the entire workflow—from meshing and multiphysics simulation to data analysis, photorealistic visualization, and VR experiences.
Go beyond traditional CFD. The fully integrated solver enables even the most advanced multiphysics simulations within a single environment.
Accelerate your simulation process with automated workflows, reusable templates, embedded design exploration tools, and scalable computing across GPU, CPU, and ARM architectures.
A simple and scalable licensing model unlocks all core capabilities, including pre-processing, post-processing, multiphysics modeling, HPC, cloud usage, and design optimization. As your computational needs grow, your license scales with no limitations.
From CAD import to simulation, optimization, and results analysis, everything is managed within a single platform. High-quality geometry handling, automated meshing, efficient solvers, and advanced post-processing ensure reliable, repeatable workflows.
Analyze and communicate results effectively using plots, histograms, customizable monitors, and reports. Advanced post-processing tools support design exploration by helping engineers identify optimal solutions, understand performance trends, and eliminate unfeasible designs. Multi-design visualization features enable easy comparison across datasets.
Work directly with your CAD data through robust import tools or interactive CAD control. Prepare geometries efficiently using advanced tools such as automatic defeaturing, surface repair, and automated surface wrapping.
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ supports a complete range of flow simulations: Compressible and incompressible flows, Subsonic to hypersonic regimes, Laminar and turbulent conditions and Multiphase and complex flow behaviors. In addition to traditional finite-volume methods, the software includes Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH), a meshless approach ideal for complex geometries and dynamic simulations.
Simulate conduction, convection, radiation, conjugate heat transfer, and boiling within a unified environment to accurately predict temperature behavior in fluids and solids.
Access a comprehensive library of models for noise prediction, including steady-state, DES/LES, propagation models, and acoustic perturbation equation solvers.
Combine CFD (finite volume) and structural simulation (finite element) to analyze fluid-structure interactions within a single interface. Furthermore model complex fluids with viscous and viscoelastic behavior for advanced material simulations.
Simulate a wide range of electromagnetic applications, from valves and actuators to transformers and electric machines.
