Integrated CAD design and CFD calculation software
STAR-CCM CD-adapco

From CAD conception to import and repair to post-processing, STAR-CCM+ is rapidly becoming the code of choice for external aerodynamicists: of planes, trains, and automobiles or oilrigs, ships and buildings. A combination of features, many unique to STAR-CCM , makes it a complete toolkit for the CFD aerodynamicist.

These include an automatic process from geometry to high quality hexahedral or polyhedral mesh, robust and accurate solvers (implicit algebraic-multigrid and explicit multistage Runge-Kutta coupled solvers and a segregated solver), custom-made pre- and post-processing for external aerodynamics and unrivaled efficiency in handling calculations involving hundreds of millions of cells.
