Simcenter STAR-CCM+

We use STAR CCM+ to evaluate critical performance parameters such as pressure drop, particle capture efficiency, and Dust holding capacity for automotive Air filtration systems, as well as to predict temperature, power, and torque values for Headlights, taillights, and Polymer body panels. By using STAR CCM+, we are able to evaluate the thermal performance of lighting components and ensure that the materials being used are able to withstand the critical temperature conditions that the lighting systems operate in.

• I was able to reduce the pressure drop of an intake duct which resulted in improved efficiency of intake system.
• Reduced the developed time for intake system by evaluating dust capture efficiency and dust holding capacity using simulation, which was previously done through prototype and physical testing.
• Evaluated the increase in part temperature due to sunload on a polymer part. This helped us in material selection for the part.

We are Engineering Solutions and Service providers, and we project STARCCM+ as one of the leading tools used in various application areas ranging from Automotive, Aerospace, Energy, Renewable Energy, Marine, and Consumer Electronics. The Physics that can be modeled include a wide variety ranging from Aerodynamics, Hydrodynamics, Heat Transfer & Thermal Management, Multiphase Flow, Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI), Combustion & Reacting Flows, Aeroacoustics, and Electrochemistry.

• We, as a company, have seen the turnaround time to complete a design decision go from 6 months to 2 months due to automation of workflow and HPC scalability.
• As cloud-based access is available now, Investment in Hardware is also reduced.

I'm the sole user for that product, but of course, the requirements and the design comes from other teams. And then I carry out the simulation. So I carry out the task with Star-CCM+ and then I give my verdict to those teams, along with any suggestions to improve our technology and products.

• I can't think of anything but positive of course. I mean, we've been improving our products, we've been using this to test less to make sure that our products will meet the requirements and meet the objectives that we have. And I've never seen a case where it has been proven otherwise. So yeah, it's been great for us.

All flow simulations that are relevant for topics that might have direct impact on product performance. So optical column conditioning, outgassing and deposition rates, defectivity, Optics Life time, Thermal and pressure stability.

• Setting up from scratch and the ability to use certain .sim as golden reference set's is helping a lot (related to process automation)
• AMR and overset are powerfull for industrial application
