NEW YORK, NY and LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM --(Marketwired - October
28, 2015) -  CD-adapco, the largest privately held CFD-focused
provider of Computer Aided Engineering software, today announced
the release of STAR-CCM+(R) v10.06, its flagship engineering
simulation solution. This release features the introduction of
Computational Rheology, a new engineering discipline in
STAR-CCM+, and forwards the company's mission to facilitate
innovation through Multidisciplinary Design Exploration (MDX) to
help customers discover better designs, faster.

Computational Rheology further expands the multidisciplinary
scope of STAR-CCM+ and targets problems where viscous and
viscoelastic effects are dominant. The types of applications that
are now possible to solve are flow in static mixers (bread dough,
food.), flow into containers (toothpaste, shampoo.), pumping
slurries with significant heat generation, as well as extrusions
(foam rubber insulation for door seals, rubber tires...) and
material processing. The capability is built on the same Finite
Element (FE) framework as Computational Solid Mechanics delivered
in v10.04.

'Computational Rheology allows our customers to find solutions
for a whole new category of applications ranging from extrusions
to polymer and material processing, and they will benefit from
this new technology without requiring an additional license,'
said Jean-Claude Ercolanelli, Senior VP of Product Management,
CD-adapco, 'Of course, this new capability is accessible from
their familiar and single STAR-CCM+ user interface, leveraging
all other STAR-CCM+ features from the geometry to the solution.'

In addition to Computational Rheology, STAR-CCM+ v10.06 brings
further important enhancements to ensure our customers remain
competitive and effective in their marketplace:

Technology:

With v10.06, engineers are able to perform two-way
fluid-structure coupling from within STAR-CCM+. This tight
coupling, easily accessed and deployed from the single user
interface in STAR-CCM+, leads to an improved accuracy and
ultimately results in better designed products and reduced
product failure. Read more

This new version also features the ability to compute thermal
stress and strains resulting from thermal loads obtained in
STAR-CCM+.

Experience:

STAR-CCM+ v10.06 brings a new and completely revamped interface
for the Manual Surface Repair Tool, increasing usability for both
the experienced and new user and helping them save significant
engineering time. The new interface provides an easier to use and
simpler environment for performing manual repair of triangulated
surfaces. Experienced users will find that preparing models
requires less clicks and makes everything easier to identify and
locate. New users will find the new interface easy to navigate
and learn. Read more

More and more customers are looking to perform simulations on
increasingly complex and large assemblies, so it is critical that
users can effectively manage their components and workflow.
STAR-CCM+ v10.06 brings significant filter improvements, making
filtering and selecting of operations, displayers and parts
simpler and more intuitive. Read more

Productivity:

Parts-based Interface is a unique capability in v10.06 offering a
distinct improvement to performance and scalability using
parts-based workflows and resulting in faster simulation
turnaround time. This is a key capability for applications which
involve many parts such as vehicle thermal management,
electronics cooling and heat exchangers.

STAR-CCM+ v10.06 also brings significant improvements to geometry
preparation by automating the defeaturing process of a detailed
CAD model. This release includes a new capability that finds
holes and fillets of certain size and removes them from the CAD
automatically to get it ready for analysis.

As with each STAR-CCM+ release, v10.06 possesses many new
features and enhancements drawn from ideas submitted through
IdeaStorm, the innovation forum exclusive to CD-adapco customers.
To that end, the company is committed to three major releases
each year to ensure it is delivering on its vision for the
software and, at the same time, supporting the ongoing needs of
its customers.
