The meshless nature and the intuitive interfaces make the simulation process simple and fast, even for complex geometries with moving parts. In Particleworks the fluid is discretized by particles and there is no need for a computational grid. The MPS solves the Navier-Stokes equations with a deterministic Lagrangian Method.

Additionaldetails gleaned from the company’s website.Particleworks is a CAE software for the simulation of liquid flows based on the Moving Particle Simulation method (MPS).

STAR-CCM+ also offers legacy mesh compatibility with suchsolutions as STAR-CD, ICEM, GridGen, and Gambit. Other capabilities includeinternal and external flows polyhedral and hexahedral meshes laminarand turbulent flow convection and buoyancy and sub- to supersonicflow. It can handlesuch external and internal flows as conjugate heat transfer and porous,and offers a set of turbulence models.

Its polyhedralmeshes it can provide accurate solutions three to five times fasterthan on an equivalent tetrahedral mesh, says the company. STAR-CCM+, says CD-adapco, has an easy-to-use operating environment,and it can be embedded within your MCAD environment. Each tutorial, says the company, will run ona desktop PC and has references to CFD texts. The tutorials go from mesh import, to model set-up, runand postprocessing. The trial software, which includes a “license-free, acut-down version of STAR-CCM+,” has a variety of examples and tutorialscovering “just some of STAR-CCM+‘s” flow and thermal modelingcapabilities. Now, you can make thatcall yourself by downloading and trying out a free trial version of STAR-CCM+.ĬD-adapco says that it designed the trial version of the STAR-CCM+ forboth those unfamiliar with the application and as an introduction tonew CFD users. CD-adapco (Melville, NY) describes it STAR-CCM+ as a “next generation"CFD (computational fluid dynamics) solution.
