    MineTwin

    Score10 out of 10
    Enterprise companies (1,001+ employees)
    MineTwin is simulation, planning and decision-support software developed for open-pit and underground mining operations. It creates detailed digital representations of mines so that operational plans, fleet configurations, infrastructure investments and new technologies can be tested before resources are committed in the real operation. CORE CAPABILITIES Discrete-event simulation of mining activities, equipment movement,…N/A

    Siemens Simcenter

    Score9.3 out of 10
    N/ASiemens Simcenter is a suite of computer-aided engineering (CAE) simulation, testing, and multidisciplinary optimization software developed by Siemens Digital Industries Software. Operating as the simulation and testing domain within the Siemens Xcelerator platform, Simcenter connects 3D computer-aided design (CAD), simulation modeling, and product lifecycle management (PLM) data into a continuous digital engineering thread.N/A

    A case where you are interested in modeling various physics such as
    Aerodynamics,
    Hydrodynamics, Heat Transfer & Thermal Management, Multiphase Flow, Fluid-Structure
    Interaction (FSI), Combustion & Reacting Flows, Aeroacoustics, Electrochemistry, and Electromagnetics. STARCCM+ is recommended. But if your interest is complex Structural dynamics, durability, or Motion analysis, etc. better to go with other tools.

    Siemens AG
    • Meshing is very easy to do in STAR CCM+
    • Post-processing results is also very intuitive, making extracting results very enjoyable and easy to use.
    • The Advanced rendering options that are available in STAR CCM+ can really help make very well-generated videos that can make the simulation easy to visualize, share with non-technical engineers, and showcase the study done.

    • Maybe a little bit on the automation side and if you want to script something, if you want to automate procedures, that happens through every simulation round that you have. That part could be a little bit cumbersome right now, depending on the operating system that you use.
    • Introducing the software on other platforms like Mac OSS.

    STAR CCM+ technical support was very quick to respond when a ticket was raised for issues. For support in setting up a test case for the Lagrangian particle tracking technique, a support assist agent was assigned immediately, and after having a detailed discussion, my problem was understood by them, and a suitable test case was shared, which I was able to understand and use to build my case.

    Competitive tools, both Fluent and STARCCM+, but the user interface and ease of learning, along with everything in a single interface, and a wide variety of proven physics capabilities, along with good scalability and automation, made the choice easy for me. Also, the user guide and tutorials available to explore various kinds of Physics capability, and A single license for access to all physics, also made it easy.

    • Time saved in creating a inhouse code, tens and tens of hours.
    • Time saved in experimental setup, tens of hours.
    • Does add some time in testing to confirm star is doing what you think it's doing, but an overall net gain in productivity.
