Brake Rotor Thermal Calculation in STAR-CD- Urgent

I am a fluent user and have a small query regarding the solving procedure of a problem In STAR-CD which involves fluid flow over the solid and the conduction within the solid (for ex: thermal calculations of the brake rotor, which involves flow over the brake rotor and the heat conduction with in the brake rotor)
In Fluent, for this problem, first we simulate the flow over the brake rotor and find the convective heat transfer coefficients. Then we deactivate the fluid volume (fluid domain around the brake rotor) and make only the solid volume (rotor solid) active. Then we run only the energy equation with in the solid by using the convection values obtained from the fluid flow simulation. By deactivating the fluid volume, which is not needed while solving for the conduction within the solid rotor, we can save CPU time. Is this possible in STAR-CD. Can we deactivate the fluid volume and make only the solid volume activate in STAR-CD, which is possible in Fluent. In Fluent, if we want, we can toggle of the Flow and can run only the Energy equation, which helps in saving the CPU Time. Is this option available in STAR-CD Please let me know whether these options are available in STAR-CD. If these options are not available, then when is the best possible way in STAR-CD to solve the above problem by saving the CPU run time? Your immediate response/help in this regard is highly appreciated. Thanking You |
