STAR-Works, CD-adapco’s CAD-embedded CFD tool for SolidWorks has been chosen by DE’s Editor-at-Large Tony Lockwood as his ‘Pick of the Week’.

In reviewing the product, Lockwood had this to say: “STAR-Works 4.14 integrates directly into SolidWorks, becoming a natural, nudge-free part of your SolidWorks design cycle. Since STAR-Works 4.14 is powered by CD-adapco’s world-class STAR-CCM+ solver technology, it is industrial strength. Only it does not make you suffer trying to use out-of-your class power. In spite of its power, STAR-Works is for designers and project engineers who need to ensure that they are on the right track, not analysis Ph.D.s, although the high priests can certainly leverage it.”

“The net gain is that STAR-Works 4.14 lets you start optimizing your design as soon as practical and when you feel like it. Think of that a minute. You can shorten your product development cycle with CFD optimization that does not dominate your concentration or waste time. And you’re using a top-shelf CFD system, not some useless, low-powered software that leaves you feeling as if you’re in the doghouse again.”
