Application Details
- Description : Produced by Siemens CD-adapco (Computational Dynamics-Analysis & Design Application Company Ltd), star-ccm+ is used for computer-aided engineering, in particular computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
- Versions : 13.04.011, 13.06.011,14.02.012( + R8) and 15.02.009 ( + R8)
- Module names : starccm+/13.04.011, starccm+/13.06.011, starccm+/14.02.012 (and starccm+/14.02.012.R8) and starccm+/15.02.009 (and starccm+/15.02.009.R8)
- License: University of Hull Engineering department, restricted by POD license.
Important information
- Important: where possible it is recommended to use version 15.02.009 and 14.02.012, version 11/12 is now retired and 13 will be soon.
- The SIM data processed should be the same version of the star-ccm+ application, there is a strong sensitivity in this program.
- Multiple node processing will need the addition of the file in $HOME/.ssh/config (with StrictHostKeyChecking no)

Star-ccm server
Star-ccm+ can be used as a server within an interactive session on Viper. This would be very useful for graphics from big simulations.
- Check SSH keys are been generated correctly for this version SSH.
Known Issues
- After version 13; no noted MPI issues.
