Star-CCM+

Simcenter STAR-CCM+ is a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based simulation software developed by Siemens Digital Industries Software. Simcenter STAR-CCM+ allows the modeling and analysis of a range of engineering problems involving fluid flow, heat transfer, stress, particulate flow, electromagnetics and related phenomena.

License

CSC does not have own Star-CCM+ licenses for customer use on CSC's computing platforms. Instead, you may purchase a Power-On-Demand (PoD) license to be used on the servers, for more information, see this web page.

Available

Several versions of Star-CCM+ are available on Roihu and LUMI supercomputers. On Roihu, the software is available on both CPU and GPU (aarch64) partitions. Use command

module available

on the server to check and check lines star-ccm+/<version number>. The double precision version will have the -R8 suffix on the end of the module version number.

On LUMI, you need to first load the module environment, and then give module spider command

module use /appl/local/csc/modulefiles
module spider starccm+

Usage

There are example batch job scripts available on Roihu in directories:

/appl/soft/manual/eng/x86_64/star-ccm+/example_batch_job_scripts

and

/appl/soft/manual/eng/aarch64/star-ccm+/example_batch_job_scripts

On LUMI, the example batch job file is available here:

/pfs/lustrep3/appl/local/csc/soft/eng/starccm+/parjob_starccm_lumi

Copy the file and modify it for your own use. Further instructions are given in the file and the documentations of the platforms.
