Based on advanced solver technology, with a comprehensive range ofphysics models and the ability to automatically create high quality computational meshes, STAR-CD V4 can be used straight-out-of-the-boxђ to tackle a wide range of engineering problems. However, if the complexity of the problem demands, STAR-CD V4 isuniquely versatile, allows users to customize and control every aspect of the simulation process. If you need to move your mesh on a node-by-node basis in response to your solution, STAR-CD V4 will help youdo it. If you need to use a physics model that is specific to yourproblem, STAR-CD V4 will let you add one. STAR-CD constantly pushesback the boundaries of simulation. If an engineering problem can be solved using CFD, STAR-CD can help you to solve it. But STAR-CD is more than just a CFD code. The latest release,STAR-CD V4, introduces the capability to perform structural analysis calculations using a methodology based upon its industry-leading CFDsolver technology, the first time that a comprehensive solution for flow,thermal and stress simulation has been available in a single general-purpose commercial finite-volume code.In bridging the gap between fluid dynamics and structural-mechanics,STAR-CD V4 brings the routine solution of a whole new class ofengineering problems within the reach of regular industrial users.STAR-CD V4 is now fully polyhedra enabled; bringing state-of-the-artsolver technology to STAR-CD users, without compromising the advanced modeling and complex physics capabilities for whichSTAR-CD is the undisputed market leader. By using the latestpolyhedra-solver technology, STAR-CD V4 delivers significant benefitsin speed, robustness and usability. > STAR-CD V4 is the first general-purpose commercial finite-volume code that is routinely able to perform Computational Continuum Mechanics simulations.
