STAR-CCM+ is one of the most modern, in comparison with its competitors, software package designed to solve problems in continuum mechanics. It is incredibly easy to use. STAR-CCM+ includes the latest numerical algorithms such as advanced solvers, segregated solver and coupled solver, and is built using state-of-the-art programming techniques. All this allows STAR-CCM+ to provide unprecedented accuracy, reliability and flexibility when solving computational continuum mechanics problems.


New powerful meshing tools: from surface wrapping to creating meshes from polyhedral cells. Using these new meshing tools can shave hours off a problem's time.
A wide range of physical models: laminar and turbulent flows, Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, multiphase flows, cavitation, radiation, combustion, boundary layer development, flows with high Mach numbers, conjugate heat transfer, as well as new models for calculating heat exchangers and fans.


Using arbitrary polyhedral cells: requires less memory and speeds up problem solving.
Powerful visualization tools: and control of modeling parameters during the calculation process.
It also has a Russian interface.
Reliable results: based on the robust, fear-free STAR-CCM+ solver.
Compatibility of models with existing software products: STAR-CD, ICEM, GridGen, Gambit.
Models with 1 billion or more cells: Unlike all other CFD packages, STAR-CCM+ is specifically designed to perform scalable parallel calculations on arbitrarily large computational grids. Allows you to solve relatively simple strength problems (together with gas dynamics).
