Early Flaw Detection and Optimization

TotalSim's engineers have experience utilizing the comprehensive capabilities of Siemens STAR-CCM+ to conduct simulations tailored to your specific project needs. By running simulations early in the design process, potential flaws and inefficiencies can be identified and optimized before committing to physical prototypes. This helps to save time and resources by avoiding costly design iterations later in the development cycle.

Root Cause Analysis

In cases where components underperform or fail to meet design requirements, TotalSim's experts have used STAR-CCM+ simulations to delve deep into the root causes of these issues. By analyzing the fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and other relevant physics, we have identified the underlying factors contributing to performance deficiencies and propose effective design modifications or optimizations.

Simulation Reporting for Efficiency Measurement

TotalSim provides detailed simulation reports that offer insights into the efficiency and functionality of design components. These reports enable project stakeholders to assess the performance of their designs against specified criteria, facilitating data-driven decision-making and design validation.

Consolidated Simulation Scenarios

TotalSim's engineers have the expertise to group key components into consolidated simulation scenarios within STAR-CCM+. This allows for comprehensive analysis of complex systems and interactions, reducing the need for extensive physical testing and accelerating the design validation process.
