CFD software attempts to understand pasta
The University of Padova has been using Star-CD CFD software from The CD Adapco Group to help transform shapeless pasta dough into the spaghetti, penne and farfalle we know and love.
Using CD Adapco's powerful CFD technology (including polyhedral meshing) means that ease of use does not compromise accuracy.
Star-Design's 3D solid modeller and geometry import allows engineers who don't use CAD to directly create and manage geometry for simulation.
Specifically designed for use within the design cycle, Star-Design has a number of features that enable quick but accurate "what-if" design evaluations on product performance.
These include: parametric geometry handling; associative model setup - changing the geometry does not require redefinition of the problem; engineering data output; post-processing templates for easy comparison between designs; efficient and accurate polyhedral meshing; and CD Adapco's industry leading CFD technology.
Many CFD engineers rely on CAD engineers to provide geometry definitions, without geometry control themselves.
Star-Design's easy-to-use parametric geometry modelling and geometry import allows CFD engineers to directly create and manage geometry for simulation.
Star-Design uses the industry leading CFD technology behind Star-CD and Star-CCM+.
These tried, tested and trusted CFD codes have been chosen by thousands of engineers worldwide, across every industry sector.
By using this technology and applying CFD best practices, Star-Design users gain easy-to-use CFD insight without compromising accuracy.
Star-Design's intuitive interface allows engineers who are not CFD specialists, or who are occasional users, to rapidly gain insight by easily accessing industrial-strength CFD.
"Engineers and analysts need tools that enable them to carry out parametric 'what-if' studies with enhanced automation", says Jean-Claude Ercolanelli, CD Adapco's Product Manager for Star-Design.
"Star-Design has already met the needs of design engineers and CFD experts alike and it continues to add value to design processes across all industries".
Star-Design is available on Windows (32bit), Linux and Unix (32 and 64bit platforms).
