Simulation of Turbulent flow in Arbitrary Regions - Computational Continuum Mechanics + (STAR-CCM+) is a C++ based finite-volume-based program package for modelling of fluid flow problems and beyond (it also includes FEM, etc.). It is developed by Siemens PLM Software (they bought CD-adapco). Today, the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ package can be applied to a wide range of multiphysics problems such as
...
- Fluid dynamics
- Conjugate heat transfer
- Multiphase flows
- Reacting flows
- Solid mechanics (FEM)
- Particle flows
- Rheology
- Electrochemistry
- Electromagnetics
- Aero-acoustics
- Fluid-structure interaction

This page describes the specifics of installation and usage at NHR@ZIB systems only. A brief product overview is provided here. An introductory tutorial is accessible on here.
Public documentation, tutorials and support - no registration needed
Everybody can access both the official User Guide (includes search function, click-by-click tutorials and files) and https://community.sw.siemens.com (anyone can contribute here). A PDF version of the User Guide is available on NHR@ZIB systems under /sw/eng/starccm/<version>/STAR-CCM+<version>/doc. Tutorial case files can be found in /sw/eng/starccm/<version>/STAR-CCM+<version>/doc/startutorialsdata resp. (with solutions) in /sw/eng/starccm/<version>/STAR-CCM+<version>/tutorials, verification data in /sw/eng/starccm/<version>/STAR-CCM+<version>/VerificationData.
Full support and training/courses - after registration
Students can register for free to search the entire support center (most extensive Q&A database of Siemens PLM) and access attend the Siemens Xcelerator Academy for Academics (full self-paced courses for all levels).
