“I am very impressed with the CD-adapco Global Academic Program. It is the best I have seen from any commercial software supplier when it comes to a structured and wide program. This really shows that you care about the bigger ecosystem of academia and industry. This is so much more than just large discount on licenses. I especially like the individual student licenses and the offer for free on-line training”
MICHAEL RASMUSSEN - PROFESSOR Aalborg University, Denmark

STAR-CCM+ CAPABILITIES – ONE PACKAGE, ONE PROGRAM, ONE EASY USER INTERFACE
TESTIMONIALS“The reason we picked STAR-CCM+ was primarily its ease of use. We can get students spun up fairly quickly and the interface is very convenient being it is all in one package. There is all sorts of help available as well. We make great use of the free trainings that are now offered online – very convenient!”
WAYNE NEU - ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR, AEROSPACE AND OCEAN ENGINEERING Virginia Tech
“There is a professor at Oregon Institute of Technology who is using STAR-CCM+ to teach his undergraduates. I was incredibly impressed with his coursework and what the students were doing. I was like “can I hire your students?” This is exactly what we need.”
DR BRIGETTE ROSENDALL - PRINCIPAL ENGINEER AND BECHTEL DISTINGUISHED SCIENTIST Bechtel National, Inc
“The STAR-CCM+ CFD code has been very beneficial to the EcoCAR 2 competition. It has allowed us to do our electric vehicle cooling modeling. The ability to have a fully functioning commercial license allows me to become very familiar with industry standards and practices.”
DOMINIC BARSOTTI - STUDENT Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, EcoCAR 2 Team
“We have found STAR-CCM+ to be the BEST CFD software in helping us simulate the aerodynamics of our FSAE car”
STEPHEN CHUNG, UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
“I have thoroughly enjoyed using STAR-CCM+, at first I was intimidated with trying to learn new software but the tutorials are incredibly easy to follow and learn from“

ACADEMIC SOFTWARESTAR-CCM+
Multi-physics tool that provides an entire engineering process from geometry manipulation, meshing, physics modeling, runtime environment, and post processing in one intuitive, easy to use interface. There are no modules or separate interfaces, this is one program with one interface. A capabilities overview can be seen in the adjacent picture.
DARS
Enables the development of efficient, reduced reaction mechanisms for realistic analysis of chemical processes
SPEED
Design and analysis of electric machines such as motors, generators and alternators including the drive with inverters and their control
BATTERY DESIGN STUDIO®
Provides a simulation environment for the analysis and design of the electrochemical system and detailed geometry of a single battery cell
BATTERY SIMULATION MODULE
Ability to calculate the 3D thermal, fluid and electrochemical properties of lithium-ion battery cells, starting from each finite volume/e-cell within a battery cell, to the entire pack
STAR-CAST
A complete software solution for industrial casting simulation
OPTIMATE AND OPTIMATE+
Allows for automatic design exploration (OPTIMATE) and true optimization using the MO-SHERPA algorithm with STAR-CCM+ (OPTIMATE+)
FREE ADD-ONS:OPENROAD™
Provides the student with both an interactive GUI-driven and batch driven process to calculate the Aerodynamic and/or Thermal Performance of ground vehicles in wind tunnels and the open road. Perfect for the classroom and student design competition teams (Formula Student, FSAE, etc.)
ESTIMATING HULL PERFORMANCE (EHP™) IN CALM WATER
A new CD-adapco tool for Naval Architects. EHP provides the student with a streamlined GUI-driven process to simulate
hull motion in calm water. Students do not have to be CAD or CFD-savvy – EHP guides students from CAD import through
solution of single or multiple speeds in a single session
TEACHING CONSIDERATIONSThe new STAR Academy online training system gives professors the capability to assign STAR-CCM+ training to students as homework so they can familiarize themselves with the software without using class time to do this. This allows you to spend more time on flow phenomena, focus on advanced CFD topics, complete more design iterations, etc -- and not spend time on learning an interface.
Our online modulated training system is available on demand and does not require students to have STAR-CCM+ installed on their computers, our training system is an interactive system with the STAR-CCM+ interface built into it. Also note that we provide FREE licensing for students on personally owned computers -- this allows you to assign CFD projects which students can work on from home.
