Optimate is an add-on module for STAR-CCM+ that directly employs state-of-the-art process automation and design optimization technology. Optimate includes CD-adapco’s Power Token software licensing eliminating the barriers. Power Tokens: Optimate is the gateway to Power Token licensing. The Power Token scheme is the latest innovation from CD-adapco in affordable CAE licensing for high performance computing. It provides unprecedented flexibility to engineers allowing them to optimize coarse vs. fine-grained CAE parallelization for each individual design study without paying the prohibitive software license fees dictated by the licensing schemes of the past. Design Exploration Mode Parameter Scans: Examine parameters and refine design iterations directly within STAR-CCM+. Optimate brings great new automation tools to the CFD world, allowing users to change parameters in their simulation automatically, running several simulations from one file. While this could be done manually, Optimate allows a user to run the simulations without further user input, streamlining the process and saving valuable time. Set Optimate and go on vacation, without having to log in remotely every day to setup a new simulation, and still have all your runs completed! “what-if” scenarios: The Design Exploration mode empowers engineers to perform intelligent design exploration studies and facilitates the exchange of redesigned components, isolating the influence that each component exerts on the overall design. Like the Parameter Scan, all the simulations are run without input, saving time and effort, providing the ultimate design refinement tool. Design Exploration & Optimization for STAR-CCM+
