This leads to an increasing demand for simulation to reduce the cost of testing and make safety design economically efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2302 we release a dedicated workflow to accelerate the setup time of thermal runaway propagation simulations for batteries from hours down to minutes. Thanks to a focused workflow you can now handle large packs of hundreds or thousands of cells with ease yet retaining high modeling fidelity. The  workflow supports the straightforward simulation of a \u201cfailed\u201d cells&#8217; exothermal heat release with an empirical model and can be accessed as part of the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Batteries add-on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to its powerful multiphysics capabilities and the all-new dedicated workflow, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ is perfectly suited to study the propagation of thermal runaway events on a complex pack geometry. Simcenter STAR-CCM+ offers a comprehensive solution to better understand this hazardous safety event and helps design pack and mitigation measures, thereby reducing the needs for costly tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter is-style-fill is-style-primary-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/simcenter\/battery-simulation-thermal-runaway\/\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Find out more about the latest battery simulation capabilities <\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#009999\">Easy and accurate modeling of motion with overset meshes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video autoplay controls loop src=\"https:\/\/videos.mentor-cdn.com\/mgc\/videos\/5400\/3bdf87fa-2dca-44d1-819b-53ac7eaea985-en-US-video.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">With Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2302 you can more reliably run cases with small gaps and motion thanks to the refined overset region matching the refinement level of the background region<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Store separation, valves, dip coating and many other applications involve moving bodies, with small gaps together with complex fluid dynamics.

The CFD simulation of such systems requires both a precise prediction of particle motion and respective phase-change phenomena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2022.1, we therefore introduced the Liquid-Solid-Gas material for Lagrangian non-DEM particles allowing to apply evaporation modeling for droplets containing solid materials. This functionality is for example successfully used to simulate milk droplets in spray drying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2302 we extend the capability to Discrete Element Method (DEM) particles allowing to apply evaporation models to DEM phases. This enables you to model new applications involving drying solid materials where DEM is the particle-dynamics method of choice by enabling evaporation of liquid components in DEM particles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the new feature you can accurately simulate drying processes in direct, convection-based dryers like drum dryers, spray dryers, fluidized bed dryers or indirect conduction-based dryers using the Discrete Element Method for the wet solid phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter is-style-fill is-style-primary-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=j-yNsKMtPW0\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Explore DEM in Simcenter STAR-CCM+<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover\" style=\"min-height:173px;aspect-ratio:unset;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1576\" height=\"881\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-48034\" alt=\"Go faster with Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2302\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/02\/Go-faster-2302.png\" style=\"object-position:48% 29%\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"48% 29%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/02\/Go-faster-2302.png 1576w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/02\/Go-faster-2302-600x335.png 600w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/02\/Go-faster-2302-1024x572.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/02\/Go-faster-2302-768x429.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/02\/Go-faster-2302-1536x859.png 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/02\/Go-faster-2302-395x222.png 395w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/02\/Go-faster-2302-900x503.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1576px) 100vw, 1576px\" \/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-large-font-size\" id=\"Go-faster\">Go faster<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#009999\">Better performance per price with ARM support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video autoplay controls loop src=\"https:\/\/videos.mentor-cdn.com\/mgc\/videos\/5400\/ff72abb0-24c9-412e-aea0-5e1bf4dd73f4-en-US-video.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">With Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2302 we allow you to run larger, faster CFD simulations for less cost and energy using Advanced Reduced Instruction Set Computer Machines (ARM) CPU technology. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Simulation has become a critical factor in time and resource-efficient product development. And while CFD simulation is significantly less resource-intense than corresponding physical testing, to stay competitive, companies must take it a step further. With ever increasing volume of simulation-driven product design, to have a competitive edge, you must optimize energy consumption and cost associated with those high-fidelity simulations. Ultimately, a sustainable, cost- and energy-efficient digital twin is a distinguishing factor and competitive advantage in virtual product development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2302 we allow you to run larger, faster CFD simulations for less cost and energy using Advanced Reduced Instruction Set Computer Machines (ARM) CPU technology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, the technology is supported on Linux and available through different cloud vendors like AWS EC2 instances or the Fugaku super-computer provided by Fujitsu in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With ARM support we add another option to running your CFD simulation in an increasingly heterogeneous hardware architecture landscape.

Therefore, by reducing memory consumption of a given simulation you can fit larger meshes onto a single GPU.

On top of the already existing performance benefits of GPUs from previous releases these enhancements result in a memory reduction of up to 40 % as well as runtime performance improvements of up to 10%.

In general, MMP-LSI is relevant anywhere you have Volum Of Fluid (VOF) but that would be too expensive, and a mixture is present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But just like VOF, MMP-LSI comes at a comparably high cost if you can\u2019t decouple the choice of flow timestep from that needed to fulfill the small timestep required for the volume fraction due to Courant (CFL) number constraints. To overcome this challenge <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/simcenter\/vof-simulation-speed-up-with-implicit-multistep\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">we previously rolled out Implicit Multi-Step for VOF<\/a> where simulations were typically sped up by 3-4x and in some cases by up to an order of magnitude. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In&nbsp;Simcenter&nbsp;STAR-CCM+ 2302 we are adding the same capability for MMP-LSI. Implicit Multi-Step allows a larger timestep to be used for the flow (excluding volume fraction) by sub-stepping for the volume fraction multiple times withing the flow timestep. This decouples the choice of flow timestep from that required for the volume fraction due to CFL constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons alignwide is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter is-style-fill is-style-primary-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/simcenter\/multiphase-flow-cfd-and-courant-number\/\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more about using VOF and MMP-LSI<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light\" style=\"min-height:50px;aspect-ratio:unset;\" id=\"ExploreThePossibilities\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1517\" height=\"935\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-48193\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/02\/PerformanceMap.png\" style=\"object-position:55% 9%\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"55% 9%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/02\/PerformanceMap.png 1517w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/02\/PerformanceMap-600x370.png 600w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/02\/PerformanceMap-1024x631.png 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/02\/PerformanceMap-768x473.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/02\/PerformanceMap-900x555.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1517px) 100vw, 1517px\" \/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-cover-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-white-color has-text-color has-large-font-size\" id=\"Go-faster\">Explore the Possibilities<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#009999\">Easily understand a design space using contour plots<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video autoplay controls loop src=\"https:\/\/videos.mentor-cdn.com\/mgc\/videos\/5400\/63c90c1c-1d2a-4348-b320-0fbb2400d7dc-en-US-video.mp4\"><\/video><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">With Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2302 you can now quickly and easily generate performance maps with two independent and one dependent variable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For many applications, like e.g. turbomachines, CFD is a very powerful and cost-effective tool to generate performance maps through automated sweeps.

For simulation engineers wasting your time searching external disconnected resources for the latest simulation setup documentation or usage instructions for templated simulations is a massive productivity burden. For CFD simulations this implies traceable data and workflow management and the ability to work in an integrated environment allowing you to access all relevant simulation information quickly and directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2302 we are introducing the Simulation guide. The Simulation guide allows you to store all relevant information inside the simulation file. Having notes or instructions directly in the simulation file increases your productivity as you spend less time looking for information. With an embedded editor, you can add all relevant meta information exactly where it\u2019s needed: within the simulation file. The editor allows you to write text, format it, add images, create tables. As a consequence, the simulation guide enables you to seamlessly share, update and review information relevant to the simulation. It helps your team collaborate and build collective knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together with the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/simcenter\/simulation-templates-your-magic-typewriter-for-cfd-automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">template simulation file introduced in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2022.1<\/a> the simulation guide will lift your productivity to new heights: Simulation template authors can leave detailed instruction just where needed while template users can now quickly understand setup steps by leveraging streamlined workflow instructions while staying inside the CFD environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter is-style-fill is-style-primary-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-black-color has-text-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/simcenter\/your-ultimate-cfd-productivity-boost\/\" style=\"border-radius:0px\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">See how the Simulation Guide can boost your productivity<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-dots\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just a few highlights in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2302.
