Optimize Designs with Unmatched Insight
Simcenter Star-CCM+
Simcenter Star-CCM+ (by Siemens) is a cost-effective computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation tool that TotalSim expertly leverages to help companies bring their products to market faster, at lower cost, and with optimized design. Our Star-CCM+ consulting services are hands-on. We conduct simulations and provide analysis that enables our customers to explore designs digitally through detailed, accurate CFD simulation and design space exploration.
When you partner with TotalSim for Star-CCM+ consulting, our engineers expertly conduct simulations tailored to your project using the wide-ranging capabilities of the Siemens software. This helps you:
● Find hidden flaws and optimize early in the design process
● Discover the root cause of underperforming components and rectify design issues
● Access simulation reporting to measure efficiency and functionality of design components
● Group key components into one simulation scenario prior to or in place of physical testing
● Apply Star-CCM+ Design Exploration Tools to make better design decisions faster
While TotalSim is solver-agnostic, promoting free and open-source when possible, we believe in using the best tools for the job. Simcenter Star-CCM+ is an excellent solver to have in your toolkit, and we have deep expertise in it along with nearly all of today’s best solvers, including OpenFOAM®, Fluent®, FUN3D, CFD++® and more.
Proprietary Star-CCM+ Workflows
Expertly Tailored to Your Needs
While the Star-CCM+ general purpose GUI workflow can accurately and rapidly simulate problems, it takes finesse and expertise to adapt and deploy the software to the unique needs of each customer. TotalSim expertly incorporates the best of Star-CCM+’s functionality into elegant, customer-tailored workflows.
Our computational toolset is developed in-house, delivering tailored, rapid and accurate solutions to maximize delivery to our customers. Our growing service mix includes:
● External and Internal Fluid Flows
● Heat Transfer and Cooling Particle Tracking
● Multi-phase Flow
● Industrial Process Flows
● Noise and Acoustics
● California Air Resources Board (CARB) CFD Testing
● CAE Automation—pre- and post-processing of data
● Custom Software Development
● Software Refactoring
● Web-Based Applications
● Industry-focused CFD simulation and CFD data management
● Reverse Engineering
● Physical Testing – wind tunnel and bench testing
Because we invest in high-value simulation tools like Simcenter Star-CCM+ (and the experts who know how to use them), you don’t have to. Our automated workflows and repeatable, proven processes eliminate errors, save time and money, and optimize design so that you can get to market ahead of the competition.
