What is a Simulation Assistant? The Simulation Assistant – A tool to help guide users through STAR-CCM+ setup processes • Accessible via a dedicated panel • Leverages the power of Java – A framework for Authors to replicate best practices and simulation workflows The Simulation Assistant – Enhances user experience – Ensures repeatability of a process – En s consistency of results – Speeds up learning curve – Shortens time to productivity for • Users new to STAR-CCM+ or to CFD • Sophisticated and industry specific ysis workflows Why Simulation Assistant? Simulation Assistant provide a visual workflow within STAR-CCM+ – A flexible approach allowing a scalable level of sophistication Users – Designed to be a simple way of executing simulation steps without • Knowing STAR-CCM+ UI • Mastering the physics to yse Authors – Designed to be a simple way of executing simulation tasks without Needing high levels of Java knowledge • In ctivity and flexibility of Beans Module (NBM) – which are complicated to program • Different to macros which are inherently procedural • Use event driven programming The Simulation Assistant The Simulation Assistant appears in a new frame on the right hand side of the STAR-CCM+ window The workflow is divided up into different steps – Each step may have a number of actions – Actions are used to execute operations within STAR- CCM+ • Single operation –e.g. change a value • Complex operations –e.g. setup a continuum • Swing operations –e.g. pop-up a ne nel Where Can I Find… Examples – 5 example Simulation Assistants are provide in the ST
