What do you dislike about Simcenter STAR-CCM+?

- Some customer-specific models are not fully mature yet (Overset, AMR, Multi-stepping VOF, contact line modeling), combining multiple modeling solutions often still results in issues

- Custom models developed and used by customers should be picked up and integrated / optimized into StarCCM+ faster

- Modeling capabilities for microfluidic applications still face big challenges (example: AMR and/or multistepping in VOF still has issues for surface tension dominated flows, contact line modeling still limited and lacking trust)

- Surface meshing not parallized yet

- Post-processing, especially heavy graphical rendering faces performance issues (slow, best practices not always clear, advanced rendering and screenplay are nice but often too much effort to efficiently use as a customer) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Simcenter STAR-CCM+ solving and how is that benefiting you?

- Analyzing complex fluid (gas and liquid) flow problems in ASML systems to propose solutions and improvements

- Generate data and insights which are difficult to aquire by experiment due to dimensions, complexity and experimental effort

- Quickly evaluate new design ideas, feasibility of concepts, compare different design iterations and find best solutions, fine-tune system specifications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
