A new release of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2410 is available.

Once again, many new things have been added and old ones have been improved. Some of these, we at Femto are particularly enthousiastic about, since we use them often, or (in case of the new ones) we see them integrating in our workflow very nicely.

Dynamic Implicit Multi-Step in VOF: Faster VOF is always welcome! Time for a quick splash: 

Volume of Fluid (VOF) simulations often require long run times, limiting their usefulness for time-sensitive applications. The previously introduced Implicit Time Stepping approach, while offering speed-ups led to variable time steps, which many users try to avoid. With the new Dynamic Implicit Multi-Step feature in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2410, you can now achieve speed-ups of almost two orders of magnitude by using large and constant timesteps without sacrificing accuracy. This improvement is made possible by dynamic sub-stepping, which maintains stability during the simulation. The result is significantly faster simulations, allowing you to achieve accurate results more quickly and making accessible order of magnitude speed-up for VOF simulations.

Dynamic planes in Resampled volumes: No more planes in the wrong location, with this I can slide right into my model:

Volumetric CFD data analysis can be complicated by obscuring surfaces that hide important result details. Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2410 introduces dynamic slicing and clipping for resampled volumes, allowing you to visualize the complete dataset while hiding unnecessary elements. This feature makes it easier to identify areas of interest and understand flow behavior. The ability to slice through the data dynamically enhances your exploration capabilities and supports a deeper understanding of complex phenomena, facilitating quick and dynamic qualitative field analysis.

Conjugate heat transfer with mesh motion with automatic mapping, since non-moving Conjugate heat transfer isn’t complicated enough already:

Setting up complex Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) problems with moving meshes often requires manual mapping of data, which can be time-consuming and error-prone. With Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2410, explicit mapped contact interfaces are now compatible with motion, eliminating the need for manual data mappers and Java macros. You can set up advanced CHT simulations, such as turbine blade cooling or E-Machine thermal management, more efficiently with automatic mapping of heat transfer coefficients and reference temperatures. This enhancement allows for leaner and more straightforward modeling of complex CHT problems with motion, saving time and reducing setup complexity.

Multi-body instancing in CAD: to make our models more efficient, we can now create patterns where we only have to edit one instance of a repeating pattern:

Managing complex CAD assemblies is time-consuming, particularly when explicitly dealing with multiple instances of the same part. Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2410 addresses this by introducing multi-body instancing, enabling you to create instances of bodies using pattern or rotation features. Allowing modifications on one instance to be propagated across all instances with ease, this approach reduces geometry preparation time and memory usage. As a result, you can handle large assemblies more efficiently, increasing productivity and reducing memory footprint.

Derived reports in DoE studies: Optimizing our optimization results sounds like the best solution:

Design exploration often generates large datasets that can be difficult to analyze effectively. With Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2410, you can perform operations on columns within the Output Table, using expressions to calculate metrics such as averages, sums, or standard deviations. This spreadsheet-like functionality lets you derive reports from any combination of study metrics, giving you a deeper understanding of your results. By enabling the creation of user-defined reports, you can gain insights more quickly and make informed decisions on design optimizations, allowing you to gain deeper insights into study results.
