Summary
The job market for engineering graduates is becoming increasingly challenging as today’s multinational corporations require new hires to have more knowledge than ever before about modern computational systems. The Siemens Digital Industries Software’s academic program for Simcenter™ STAR-CCM+™ software provides universities with special licensing, training, support and teaching tools that benefit researchers, educators and students. We are committed to helping engineering students prepare for careers involving multidisciplinary design exploration and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. Unlike companies that provide a feature limited version for academia, our program includes the same no-cell-limit software that our commercial customers use. Research centers, engineering educators and student design teams worldwide use Simcenter STAR-CCM+, which is a part of the Xcelerator™ portfolio, the comprehensive and integrated portfolio of software and services from Siemens Digital Industries Software, to easily and accurately produce simulations. Students appreciate the easy-to use, integrated set of tools to design, mesh, model and analyze simulations without using multiple software programs.
Software capabilities
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ has extensive capabilities all in one program, including computer-aided design (CAD), geometry, physics, mesh, workflow and postprocessing. The meshing capabilities include both structured and unstructured mesh, sliding mesh, model-driven automatic mesh refinement and overset meshes among other capabilities. The single integrated user interface can be used to simulate fluid dynamics, computational solid mechanics (CSM), conjugated heat transfer, multiphase flow, particle dynamics, reacting flows, electrochemistry, electromagnetics, aero-acoustics, rigid and flexible body motion as well as rheology. Add-ons for Simcenter STAR-CCM+ include thermal comfort modeling, optimization and in-cylinder flow and combustion. Users can automate and accelerate the engineering design space exploration process by using our HEEDS™ software.
Student benefits
The academic program offers
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ online training
and self-certification to increase your
value to hiring managers looking for
new graduates with engineering simulation
skills.
Student competition teams
Students competing in engineering
teams also get full access to unlimited
software. They will benefit from the
multiphysics capabilities that offer
solutions to most competition challenges,
all in one user interface. In
addition, the coupling to system simulation
and design tools in the Simcenter
portfolio offers the team a full suite of
solutions.
Educator benefits
Lecturers and professors can use
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ teaching and
department packages to combine CFD
software projects with their course
work. Teaching materials and tutorials
from professors using Simcenter
STAR-CCM+ are available to enhance
your students’ learning experience. Our
online training lets educators use the
flipped classroom method with students
reviewing basic CFD courses or
Simcenter STAR-CCM+ training prior to
lectures.
