DATA ANALYSIS

MODERN CHALLENGES IN DATA ANALYSISImproved simulation technologies and hardware capabilities have resulted in efficient simulation-led design, accelerating the pace of product development cycles. With this constant stream of information guiding the design process, adequate data analysis is crucial and needs to address the following challenges in order to be effective:

• Access to a complete data analysis toolset without impairing productivity.• Achieving confidence in design by exploring relevant what-if scenarios.• Effective management of data.• Meaningful and clear representations of simulation results.

STAR-CCM+ OFFERS THE SOLUTIONSTAR-CCM+®helps you save valuable engineering time when managing, assembling, presenting and sharing simulation results. Using a single integrated user interface, STAR-CCM+ allows you to:

• Increase productivity and save time.• Drive design decisions with quantitative data analysis.• Effectively illustrate your results with qualitative visualization.• Make informed decisions in a collaborative environment.

PRODUCTIVITY• See your results develop in real time with Live-Processing, or perform a

comprehensive analysis with Post-Processing.• Analyze data and process all solutions using a single integrated user

interface within STAR-CCM+.• Automate post-processing tasks with Java Macros or Simulation Assistants.• Effectively utilize high-end graphics resources with GPU acceleration. • Manage large amounts of data by storing transient data sets at select

time intervals with Simulation History files.

QUANTITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS• Use built-in or create user-defined Field Functions to gather and report data.• Access the summary of computed data through application-specific

Reports (example: forces, pressure drop).• Keep track of your simulation results with flexible Monitors based on

reports, field functions or customized quantities.• Visualize data set with Plots (XY, histogram, custom).• Perform signal processing with Data Set Functions (Fourier transform,

time history).

QUALITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS• Access the solution data anywhere in the model through Derived Parts

including probes, plane and arbitrary sections, iso-surfaces, thresholds and streamlines.

• Display different types of content in a scene including Geometry, Scalar Fields, Vectors (glyph or line integral convolution) and Streamlines.

• Improve result understanding using Volume Rendering.• Create aesthetically pleasing visualizations with Colormaps (perceptual,

high-impact, diverging, specialty, custom), Lighting and Background Images.

• Use animations to analyze transient data sets or to visually communicate results.

• Add context to your data with custom Annotations.

DECISION MAKING• Effectively communicate results with teams across the organization

using STAR-View+, a standalone viewer with no license required: - Can be installed anywhere and as often as you need. - Export visualization results (images/animations) to STAR-View+;

results can be viewed interactively by anyone anywhere or embedded into Microsoft PowerPoint presentations.

• Interactively explore and analyze complex relationships in data and broaden comprehension of simulation results with Data Focus:

- Plots and charts are interactively “brushed” to define criteria of interest which can be visualized in 3D scenes.

- What-if questions can be addressed through a unique and effective exploration of non-intuitive results, improving the decision-making process.
