Likelihood to Recommend	Orbital Stack No answers on this topic	Siemens AG 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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Orbital Stack No answers on this topic	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.

Cons	Orbital Stack No answers on this topic	Siemens AG 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.

Usability	Orbital Stack No answers on this topic	Siemens AG Great single window GUI Incentivized Satish Bonthu Principal Application Engineer Read full review
Support Rating	Orbital Stack No answers on this topic	Siemens AG 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.

Alternatives Considered	Orbital Stack No answers on this topic	Siemens AG 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.

Return on Investment	Orbital Stack No answers on this topic	Siemens AG 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. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
