MPI surface wrapper
In this week´s post we will take a good look at an old feature that in the version 2310 of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ got an update. I am talking about the surface wrapper, and the fact that it has now been...
Exploring Simcenter STAR-CCM+’s Time Scale and Stages Functionality for Enhanced Automation
Simulation Operations enable you to streamline the solution process in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ without relying on extra macros. While this feature has existed for a considerable period, governing the logic of complex template actions, certain functionalities were previously unavailable. As a...
Adaptive Mesh Refinement for Virtual Disk Methods
The virtual disk class of methods in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ helps you significantly reduce the computational cost of flow simulations with rotating flows, such as wind turbines, pumps, and propellers. With the latest release of Simcenter STAR-CCM+, version 2206, you can...
Templates in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ by Volupe
In this week’s Volupe blog post we are happy to announce the Templates page at the Volupe webpage. The template page is the newest addition to our CFD handbook. The CFD handbook is available to everyone, and hopefully it helps...
Initializing with existing solutions in Simcenter STAR-CCM+
Sometimes you have simulation results that would be helpful to use as a starting point for another simulation. Perhaps you want to fine tune a boundary condition but save time by using a better starting guess, or maybe you want...
Conformal meshing in Simcenter STAR-CCM+
In this week’s blog post we are going to have a closer look at conformal meshing. Conformal meshing is when the cell faces on a surface exactly align with the cell faces on the surface other side of a boundary/interface...
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2310 multiphase news
Once again, in proximity to the release of the new Simcenter STAR-CCM+ version, we will venture into the news relating to multiphase simulations. Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2310 was released this Wednesday and contains several exciting news in the multiphase department. Let’s...
Faster VOF simulations by avoiding time-consuming start-up effects
Running VOF simulations typically requires a transient approach, but sometimes you are not necessarily interested in analyzing the start-up effects of a free-surface flow, but rather just the long-term characteristics when the flow pattern has reached a quasi steady-state. Reaching...
Marine Co-Simulation using Simcenter STAR-CCM+ and Simcenter Amesim
In this week’s post we will go through an interesting simulation case carried out by coupling Simcenter STAR-CCM+ together with Simcenter Amesim. In this marine scenario, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ provides the detailed dynamics of a Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) moving through...
Simcenter User Conference 2023, a brief summary
The Simcenter User Conference, meticulously organized by the whole Volupe team, proved to be a dynamic and enlightening event that dove into the world of simulation software solutions and their real-world applications. The conference kicked off with a fascinating keynote...
