STAR-CCM+ V4.06 Becomes Most Popular Product in CD-adapco History

Polling more than a 1000 downloads in its first few hours of release, CD-adapco announced that STAR-CCM+ V4.06 is the fastest downloaded product in the company’s 30 year history.

“The popularity of the STAR-CCM+ V4.06 is a clear endorsement of our four-monthly release strategy, and an indication of our rapidly growing user base,” boasts VP Product Management Jean-Claude Ercolanelli. “I encourage every STAR-CCM+ user that has not already upgraded to V4.06 to do so today.”

In the six years since its first release, STAR-CCM+ has evolved into more than just a CFD code, and is now an integrated platform for multi-disciplinary engineering simulation, including: combustion; multiphase flow; heat transfer through solids and fluids; dynamic fluid body interaction; and solid stress: all from within a single environment. Principal new features of STAR-CCM+ V4.06 include models to simulate broadband aeroacoustic noise and aerodynamic flutter, together with a range of customer requested enhancements aimed at increasing both user productivity and simulation capability.

Ercolanelli does not expect that this record will be a long standing one, however: “STAR-CCM+ V5, which will be officially launched at the 2010 STAR European Conference, will represent a paradigm shift in engineering simulation, and looks set to be the most important software release in our company’s history. “
