Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2406 is here with a host of powerful updates to enhance your simulation capabilities. This release features advanced hybrid multiphase modeling for more accurate simulations of complex liquid behaviors, improved battery cell ageing analysis, and refined particle agglomeration modeling and more.

For a detailed look at these updates, our engineers have compiled the highlights for you. Read them here below.

Hybrid Multiphase Modeling:

New Mixture Multiphase (MMP-LSI) capabilities allow efficient simulation of liquids in multiple phases, including jets, films, droplets, and mist. This update integrates small droplets and optimizes the modeling of mixtures, enhancing applications like E-motor cooling.

Battery Cell Ageing:

The Sub-grid Particle Surface Film model now captures key ageing mechanisms such as SEI film growth and lithium plating. This provides valuable insights into battery degradation and helps in developing effective mitigation strategies.

Particle Agglomeration:

Enhanced particle agglomeration modeling with the new Particle Agglomeration model improves the accuracy of simulations involving granular flows and deposition processes, reducing computational costs.

Gradient-Based Optimization:

Improved adjoint optimization features allow for more efficient design exploration by focusing sensitivity computations only where necessary, streamlining the optimization process.

Virtual Reality (VR) Integration:

Zero-install VR access via the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Web Viewer enhances results exploration and sharing, making it easier to visualize simulations without additional software installations.

GPU Acceleration:

Significant performance improvements for Vehicle Thermal Management (VTM) simulations and other Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) applications with GPU-native support, reducing runtime and increasing efficiency.

Enhanced Simulation Automation:

Expanded support for automation of complex CFD workflows using native features, reducing reliance on manual Java scripting and improving consistency across simulations.

These updates aim to streamline your workflows, enhance simulation accuracy, and deliver faster, more efficient results across a wide range of engineering applications. For more details, explore the full feature list here
