CD-adapco’s solutions (software and related consulting services, training, and mentoring) are widely used across many industries, including oil and gas, chemical process, marine, offshore structures, turbomachinery, automotive, aerospace, building systems, electronics, environmental, pharmaceuticals, power generation, rail, and specialized mechanical engineering applications. The technology-leading Computational Fluid Dynamics flow, thermal, and stress simulation (CFD/CAE) STAR codes have outstanding capabilities for handling complex fluid flow and heat transfer problems including transient flows, chemical reaction, free-surface flows, combustion, rotating systems, multiphase and multiphysics.

There are four ways in which CD-adapco delivers its CFD technology in software:

STAR-CCM+ is a radically new full-spectrum CFD/CAE processing environment that features the latest object-oriented methods and ergonomically designed GUI for streamlined integration into any company's engineering process. Solutions on polyhedral cells enable faster and more accurate solutions than any other of the world’s legacy CFD codes.
STAR-CD remains the world’s most advanced CFD code, comes with advanced pre-processing tools, and is now enhanced by the inclusion of any one of the environments from the STAR-CAD Series.
STAR-CAD Series is a range of products that deliver non-complex CFD in an easy to use CAD-embedded environment
Expert Systems (‘es-solutions’) are application-specific bundles that talk the specific engineering language required. They can be viewed as ‘packaged consultancy’ since they are honed for solving particular application challenges.

Products:
Let COMPRESS be your expert assistant. From individual components to complex multiple diameter towers, COMPRESS can model virtually any geometry.

The standard functionality of COMPRESS includes everything needed to perform ASME Section VIII, Division 1 pressure vessel calculations. This includes the U.S. Customary and Metric Editions of Section II, Part D as well as a selection of Building Codes and related Engineering Standards.

To tailor COMPRESS to your needs, the following optional modules are available:

• ASME Section VIII, Division 2

• Heat Exchangers (includes TEMA Standard, ASME UHX rules, tube field layout capability and bi-directional interface with HTRI’s Xchanger Suite)

• Drafter (converts COMPRESS files into AutoCAD drawings)

• Coster (creates Excel compatible vessel cost estimates)

COMPRESS generates both detailed and abbreviated reports, the former suitable for use as a calculation audit trail. COMPRESS also generates ASME U forms and NBIC R forms. Once finalized, forms can be saved in PDF or EDT compliant format. EDT compliant files can be directly submitted to the National Board electronically. To simplify document management, a new “Project” feature allows users to organize, view and backup files of any type from within COMPRESS.
