Accessing Simcenter STAR-CCM+ In-cylinder

Simcenter STAR-CCM+ In-cylinder is an additional tool whose icon you must add to the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ interface. After adding the icon, you can launch the tool.

Simcenter STAR-CCM+ In-cylinder requires a Simcenter STAR-CCM+ In-cylinder add-on license (enablestarice). Alternatively, as long as you don't use Simcenter STAR-CCM+ In-cylinder in a design study with Design Manager, you can use the proice feature license together with the enablereactivemodels feature license.

To access Simcenter STAR-CCM+ In-cylinder:

  1. Open a double-precision version of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ and start a new simulation.
    To reduce the time it takes the solvers and meshers in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ In-cylinder to run an ICE simulation, you are advised to start the simulation in parallel on a multi-core machine. For more information, see Launching STAR-CCM+.
  2. In the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ menu, select Window > Toolbars > Customize.
  3. In the Customize Toolbars dialog, under the Wizards node, select Open Simcenter STAR-CCM+ In-Cylinder Solution.
  4. Drag the (Open Simcenter STAR-CCM+ In-Cylinder Solution) icon onto one of the toolbars at the top of the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ workspace and release it.
  5. In the Customize Toolbars dialog, click Close.
    The Simcenter STAR-CCM+ GUI now displays the (Open Simcenter STAR-CCM+ In-Cylinder Solution) button.
  6. Click (Open Simcenter STAR-CCM+ In-Cylinder Solution).
    The Simcenter STAR-CCM+ In-cylinder dialog appears in which you set up your ICE simulation.
