NEW YORK and LONDON, March 2, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

CD-adapco is pleased to announce the release of STAR-CCM+ v6.02, the latest version of its flagship multiphysics engineering simulation tool. STAR-CCM+ v6.02 perfectly illustrates CD-adapco's purpose: to help customers succeed through the application of engineering simulation: driving innovation in its products AND reducing the time and cost associated with bringing those products to market.

The latest version of STAR-CCM+ v6.02 is specifically designed to increase our customers' innovation through the addition of new simulation technologies, expanding its use into new applications, while increasing productivity through improving existing simulation processes.

STAR-CCM+ v6.02 looks certain to overtake STAR-CCM+ v5.06 as the most downloaded release in the CD-adapco's 30 year history, playing a pivotal role in the continual growth of CD-adapco's presence in the CAE market. The secret of STAR-CCM+'s success is simple, says Jean Claude Ercolanelli, Senior Vice President Product Management: "We maintain a constant dialogue with our customers, carefully observing new trends and challenges. Each new release of STAR-CCM+ is a balance between fulfilling the requests of our customers, and the introduction of new technology that expands the use of the software into new industrial applications, such as battery design, and electro-deposition painting."

"In its most fundamental form, success works on a personal level, ensuring that individual engineers are able to deliver meaningful simulation results on time and in a manner which can be used to influence the engineering design process," continues Ercolanelli. "By listening to our users, we are uniquely placed to understand the challenges they face. We understand the importance of continually improving our software products to make them increasingly accurate, efficient and easy to use."
