Output all input variables from STAR-CCM+

ludvigum · October 31, 2023, 06:19

I wish to understand more about what is going on behind the scenes in STAR-CCM+ and heard that there should be a functionality to print out all input information for a given .sim-file (for example values of k, epsilon, CFL number, turbulent viscosity etc...). I know most of this stuff can be found by clicking my way through the physics models or solvers, but it would be really helpful to have an output of all these values together.

I have tried to search online and click around in STAR myself, but can't seem to find the functionality.

Does this exist, and if so, how do I use it?

I think I found a solution, but there might be another option to see the mathematics going on behind.

Anyways, the solution I found is to go: File --> Summary Report --> Browser or File doesn't matter.

Then it expands all trees and subtrees, with every setting and value printed out. This does not show any more information than what would be found in the normal "front-end" side of STAR.
