CD-adapco's engineering simulation software helps our customers to perform highly complex engine analyses, thereby providing them with a detailed understanding of the intake manifold system and its performance throughout the engine cycle, as well as an invaluable platform for engine design optimization.

ING Renault F1 team uses STAR-CCM+ as a virtual wind tunnel to design a car with improved aerodynamic efficiency that would help save them that fraction of a second that's the difference between winning a race and losing it!

STAR-CCM+ turns to be a fast, accurate, and practical engineering solution to engine conjugate heat transfer simulation problems.

CD-adapco's Engineering Services group and Roush industries reduce aerodynamic drag on the Ford Fusion, helping it set a land-speed record for a production-based fuel cell powered car. 

With the transport industry facing a continuing demand from customers and regulators to improve the aeroacoustic and vibroacoustics performance of their products, reducing flow-induced noise has become more relevant than ever. Traditional fluid-structure interaction (FSI) CFD coupled methods have been judged too time consuming, technically challenging and/or computationally expensive to lend themselves to productionalized aeroacoustics analyses. However, by developing and commercializing a new fluid-structure integrated capability for aeroacoustics simulations with structural impedance effects, CD-adapco has shown that it is not the case anymore.
