In today’s fast-paced engineering landscape, simulation-driven design is no longer optional — it’s essential. But running simulations alone isn’t enough. To stay competitive, engineers need the ability to analyze, visualize, and communicate results quickly and effectively. That’s where Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Data Analysis comes in. With powerful multi-physics visualization, immersive collaboration tools, and advanced data processing […]

Using simulation early in the design process helps minimize late-stage design changes, reducing costs associated with prototyping and rework. By putting simulation tools directly into the hands of designers and engineers, they can make informed decisions more quickly, while also freeing up dedicated analyst resources for other high-priority tasks. “Frontloading” simulation typically involves integrating simulation

Automating CFD simulations with Simcenter™ STAR-CCM+ and the Virtual Tow Tank (VTT) template can dramatically speed up your design process and improve efficiency. The VTT template, available for free, simplifies the setup of hull resistance and powering simulations, enabling quick comparisons with towing tank data. STAR-CCM+ plays a crucial role by automating the entire workflow—from

At the 2024 Performance Racing Industry (PRI) show, Naethan took center stage to demystify the complex world of racecar aerodynamics. In his in-depth presentation, he broke down the essential principles that influence a racecar’s performance on the track—covering everything from aerodynamic balance and sideforce to drag and beyond. Whether you’re an engineer, a racer, or
