STAR-Works Reviewed, Awarded Pick of the Week
Posted Wed February 20, 2008 @10:22AM
Print version Email story
CD-adapco STAR-Works, CD-adapco’s CAD-embedded CFD tool for SolidWorks has been chosen by DE’s Editor-at-Large Tony Lockwood as his Pick of the Week.

In reviewing the product, Lockwood had this to say: "STAR-Works 14.4 integrates directly into SolidWorks, becoming a natural, nudge-free part of your SolidWorks design cycle. Since STAR-Works 14.4 is powered by CD-adapco’s world-class STAR-CCM+ solver technology, it is industrial strength. Only it does not make you suffer trying to use out-of-your class power. In spite of its power, STAR-Works is for designers and project engineers who need to ensure that they are on the right track, not analysis Ph.D.s, although the high priests can certainly leverage it."

"The net gain is that STAR-Works 14.4 lets you start optimizing your design as soon as practical and when you feel like it. Think of that a minute. You can shorten your product development cycle with CFD optimization that does not dominate your concentration or waste time. And you’re using a top-shelf CFD system, not some useless, low-powered software that leaves you feeling as if you’re in the doghouse again."

    CFD survey I am "Mohammed Alzuhairy" Iraqi engineer and Ph. D student in Chemical Eng. Depart.,and lecturer in Chemical Eng. Depart., University of Technology(Baghdad-Iraq), I read the paper full text "Approximation of Reaction Heat Effects in Cylindrical Catalyst Particles with Internal Voids Using CFD-2007". And read part of PhD research "CFD simulation of transport and reaction in cylindrical catalyst particles", available online." Dr. Taskin, Ertan M, 2007" My PhD research focuses on the implementation and validation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools for Heat transfer in bubble column (gas-liquid-without reaction), I had commercial CFD Fluent code version 6.2.16 plus Gambit 2.2.30 (preprocessing fluent), to complete my PhD research as "heat transfer in bubble column for viscous liquids", "CFD simulation". I ready to send any or all information about me or my PhD research. • I am trying to create a 3D bubble column geometry with a distributor by Gambit 2.2.30 (preprocessor for Fluent 6.2). The difficulty is in meshing the entire geometry, the main flow section + distributor. • My distributor is kind of plates with number of holes. That's exactly what I was trying to do. The distributor is like the one used for bubble columns, a circular plate with holes drilled into it with a column resting on the distributor. The problem is the distributor and the column has a common face, how to generate mesh in this geometry? Can anyone suggest? • I am trying to split distributor plate from the column domain and then hole surfaces from the distributor plate. Once I have done so, mesh the holes and then try meshing domain. • Can anyone suggest? • I am hope you will help me. • Exactly what I want all basic steps (in detail) to generate mesh in this geometry (column+ distributor). May be you will say you can not because you think that me must discover by myself, that's right but here in Iraq with very bad conditions and security, you wont be any surprise if I ask those basic steps. Please do not reply with this Fax number, because it is public fax (I have no Fax because communication, please reply me to my email (alzuhairy73m@yahoo.com). With my Best Wishes . . .
