CD-ADAPCO

Company Overview

 

CD-adapco is the leading global provider of full-spectrum engineering simulation (CAE) solutions for fluid flow, heat transfer and stress. STAR-CD and STAR-CCM+ provide the world's most comprehensive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solutions, with the STAR-CAD series as an easy-to-use, CAD-embedded front door to the full spectrum of CD-adapco solutions, backed by 25 years of extensive experience in CAE consulting

CD-adapco's solutions are widely used across many industries, including automotive, aerospace, buildings, chemical process, electronics, environmental, marine, offshore structures, pharmaceuticals, power generation, rail, turbomachinery and specialized mechanical engineering applications.

Technology-leading CFD codes STAR-CD and STAR-CCM+ have outstanding capabilities for handling complex fluid flow and heat transfer problems including transient flows, chemical reaction, combustion, rotating systems, multiphase and multiphysics.

CD-adapco offers STAR-CAT5 within the STAR-CAD Series family: a unique set of solutions embedded within your CATIA V5 PLM-environment so that the CFD solution becomes an integral part of your CAD model.  CD-adapco has been the first CFD vendor to offer fully associative CAD and PLM-embedded CFD.

CD-adapco is consistently a technical leader, offering the world's most comprehensive CAE software and services.

Software Partnership Value

 

The objective is to offer new benefits to CATIA V5 PLM users in CFD. We propose a tight integration of CFD within the CATIA 5 PLM-environment enabling easier parametric design studies to be carried out with enhanced automation and bi-directional associativity between CAD and CFD models.

STAR-CAT5 enables engineers to manage flow and thermal problems from the comfort of their CATIA V5 PLM-environment. This approach delivers a number of compelling benefits over the traditional simulation process:

• Designers and analysts are not required to learn a specialist simulation package,
• Associativity with parametric CAD models allows easy modification of parts without the need to redefine units, materials or boundary conditions, saving time and improving productivity.
• The simulation is directly associated with the geometry, enabling interactive as well as  automated parametric what-if design evaluations for optimisation
• A unique and proven technology, the polyhedral cells, brings speed, more accuracy and solution stability for CFD simulations than any other tetrahedral model.

The STAR-CAT5 intends to equip CATIA V5 users with the insight to deliver products to market faster, while improving quality and bringing innovation that matters. The problem set-up and input/output requirements have been automated and integrated into the CATIA V5 PLM-environment, so that users can concentrate on evaluating engineering results and optimizing designs and take full advantage of CD-adapco's advanced simulation technology.
