Overall Satisfaction with Simcenter STAR-CCM+

I use it for 2D/3D designing and analyzing the strength of the structure under different kinds of forces and calculating the maximum deviation and moment. It's good to have tools at the beginner level, easy to learn, use and teach to others. It's economical too. You can develop a different types of parts, structures, and shapes in it and perform their analysis based on the requirements and data available. You can then re-adjust the forces to see the variation in former and latter deviations & moments.
  • Calculating deviation
  • Calculating moment
  • Modelling
  • Stress analysis of pipes
  • Animation showing how deviation would proceed in a solid.
  • Easy modelling
  • Fast calculation
  • Time saver

To calculate the bending moment and deviation on a solid object under a specific force, starCCM+ is very reliable. But, to calculate thin wall stresses under fluid, it lacks behind. Eg, for calculating the bending moment on a solid and hollow pipe of the same radii under point forces and uniform force and thus comparing results for both types and see which performs better under which force.
