The direct interface for STAR-CCM+ supports the efficient optimization of engineering challenges involving multiphysics and complex geometries. It automates the creation of an engineering workflow that contains STAR-CCM+ model entries. A powerful embedded search engine offers dedicated filters, to simplify the selection of design parameters and result components from the STAR-CCM+ model – allowing for an effortless parameterization.  

Orchestrating simulation campaigns

Optimus orchestrates parametric simulation campaigns involving STAR-CCM+, freeing users from repetitive manual model changes and data processing. Using Optimus’ Design of Experiments (DOE), Response Surface Modeling (RSM) and Numerical Optimization methods, engineering teams quickly identify product designs that meet a combination of objectives set by multiple (often competing) performance targets. At the same time, design constraints imposed by manufacturing realities or stringent regulatory and standardization requirements are consistently taken into account. 

Integration in a few clicks

Optimus automatically modifies the STAR-CCM+ design parameters, updates the underlying models and extracts the result outputs (scalar and vectors) in an automated simulation or optimization process. Built on Optimus’ User Customizable Interface (UCI) wrapper technology, the Optimus interface for STAR-CCM+ allows to access all advanced parameters and versions of STAR-CCM+ without any configuration programming - enabling the parameterization and workflow integration of any STAR-CCM+ model with just a few clicks.
