Boost your productivity with a fully integrated UI
Find everything in this single unified software. Simcenter STAR-CCM+ includes pre-processing via meshing through multiphysics modeling, data analysis and photorealistic visualization and VR..
Multiphysics CFD
Multiphysics engineering simulation can accurately capture all the relevant physics that influence the performance of increasingly sophisticated products. Designed as a multiphysics CFD software, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ enables you to minimize the level of approximation and assumption. It provides a comprehensive, accurate, and efficient array of fluid dynamics-related multiphysics modeling capabilities.
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ provides you with the confidence that the predicted performance of designs will match the real-world product. The modeling capabilities go beyond fluid flow and heat transfer and also include single and multiphase flows, particle dynamics, reactive flows, fluids-structure interaction, aeroacoustics, rheology and electrodynamics modeling.
Particle flows and discrete element method
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ offers full particle-flow integration to maximize particle efficiency and distribution, minimize energy consumption, avoid excessive wear and abrasion, and optimize overall performance.
You can ensure material handling performance by accurately simulating realistic particle shapes with proper particle motion and contact. Unlike other CFD software tools, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ offers coupled flow and particulate physics within one single simulation environment, significantly reducing simulation set-up effort. Offering both mesh-based and mesh-free discrete element methods (DEM), engineers can choose the most suitable particle modeling approach.
Multiphase flow simulation
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ enables you to simulate engineering problems that cover multiple flow regimes across stratified, dispersed, discrete, films, etc. To date, no single multiphase model can cover all regimes. So Simcenter STAR-CCM+ provides a comprehensive range of models for multiphase computational fluid dynamics simulations. Use these together to cover many flow regimes, including the smart transitions between them. Leverage CFD software to predict the real-world behavior of your products by simulating multi-regime, multi-scale multiphase flows.

Response Dynamics
Simcenter’s unique response dynamics solution makes dynamic analysis more accessible and efficient. It allows you to predict the forced response of structural systems under various loading conditions in a single, interactive graphical user environment, thereby eliminating the complexity of setting up and launching analysis and providing rapid insight into dynamic behavior. Analysis information can then be used to perform design studies to enhance the new product development process and confirm the quality of designs prior to physical prototyping and production.
Rotor Dynamics
Rotating systems, like gas turbines, pumps and more, are subject to gyroscopic forces such as coriolis and centrifugal forces that are not present in stationary systems. Simcenter provides the capability to predict the linear dynamic behavior of rotating systems. Users can simulate rotating system loads, perform synchronous and asynchronous analysis to generate Campbell Diagram data, predict whirl frequencies and critical speeds and detect instability in rotating components.
