STAR-CCM+ FMU Co-Simulation with Simcenter Amesim fmi2Fatal
A customer attempted the tutorial, "FMU Co-Simulation with Simcenter Amesim: Check Valve" from the STAR-CCM+ User Guide and received this error messaged: Function fmi2ExitInitializationMode returned status 'fmi2Fatal'. Note, this was performed using ...
Simulating Unsteady Valve Motion Using Overset Mesh in STAR-CCM+
Introduction To simulate the motion of an unsteady valve in STAR-CCM+, the overset mesh plus DFBI (Dynamic Fluid Body Interaction) technique can be employed. This article provides a concise guide on setting up an overset mesh simulation, focusing on ...
Optimizing Time-Step Size for Multiphase Simulations with Phase Change
Summary Accelerate simulations and improve stability when simulating phase change using the Volumetric Source adaptive time-step provider. Simulations that include phase change mechanisms such as boiling, evaporation/condensation, ...
Allocating CPU Resources on Compute Server
Problem Is there a way to assign cpu cores to a STAR-CCM+ job such that multiple job submissions do not overlap core assignment, or manually assign cpu cores for a session? Solution CPU binding constrains a simulation to run only on a particular set ...
Anisotropic Thermal Conductivity for Multi-Part and Multi-Layer Solid
Problem Statement A customer modeling anisotropic thermal conductivity in a composite panel skin layer using STAR-CCM+ multiphysics CFD code encountered a deprecated or legacy functionality when using a Multi-Part Solid or Multi-Layer Solid, as shown ...
