Selecting the Physics Models for the Melt

You select the multiphase models, a laminar flow regime, and the casting model.

  1. Start Simcenter STAR-CCM+ and create the appropriate physics continuum.
  2. In the Physics Model Selection dialog, select the following models:

    Group Box

    Model

    Time

    Implicit Unsteady

    Material

    Eulerian Multiphase

    Multiphase Interaction (Selected automatically)

    Eulerian Multiphase Model

    Volume of Fluid (VOF)

    Gradients (Selected automatically)

    Multiphase Equation of State (Selected automatically)

    Segregated Flow (Selected automatically)

    Viscous Regime

    Laminar

    Optional Models

    Segregated Multiphase Temperature

    Casting



    The Casting model appears under the Models node in the simulation tree.

    The Casting node also appears under the Tools node in the simulation tree. This node contains the Material Database Editor node, which lets you access the Casting Material Database Editor.

    See Accessing the Casting Material Database Editor.

    The portion of this workflow that involves the casting material database is for Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2402 and earlier.
