STAR-CCM+ 5.06 

STAR-CCM+ is multi-disciplinary engineering software. This version adds the ability to simulate bulk material handling and granular flows. The product has a broad range of new features and improvements, including more than 200 customer enhancement requests. The Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) can be used to simulate the motion of a large number of interacting discrete particles, such as the granular flow of Sand, Food particles, Metal powders, Capsules and Slurries. DEM tracks the interaction between every particle in a numerically efficient manner, modeling contact forces and energy transfer due to collision and conductive and radiative heat transfer between particles. It includes a direct connection to Abaqus FEA, delivering fully coupled, two-way, fluid-structure interaction.
