The future is predictable.¶

Build advanced fluid models in minutes, predict real-time dynamics with precision, and solve complex fluid flow problems faster. M-Star is CFD software for the real world.

M-Star Pre: Creating Models¶

M-Star Pre is the graphical user interface (GUI) used to build models, define physics, and set simulation parameters. The GUI takes in user-defined geometry/operation conditions and generates input files for the solver.

Overview: Learn features of the M-Star Pre graphical user interface.
Model Tree : Determine the basic components of your model.
Geometry: Use built-in geometry and import custom CAD files.
Fluid: Select the foundational basis of your model.
Create: Create the components of your model. Fundamentals | Particles | Lattice | Scalar | Variables | Runtime | Thermal | Output | Analysis
Output: Control the types and frequency of data for visualization and analysis.
Check: Check and preview the model before export and execution.
Solve: Run the simulation.
User-Defined Functions: Define simple and complex system behavior.

M-Star Solve: Running the Solver¶

M-Star Solve is the compute engine that solves the numerical models to predict system dynamics. The solver reads input files created by M-Star Pre and generates post-processing data for visualization in M-Star Post or analysis elsewhere.

Running the Solver: Start and monitor simulations.
Workflow and Integration: Integrate with other libraries and third-party software.

M-Star Post: Analyzing Output Data¶

M-Star Post is visualization software used to render, plot, and analyze simulation output data. The post processor reads files generated by M-Star Solve and allows users to inspect the simulation via 3D rendering, real-time animation, and custom statistical analysis.

Post-Processing: Post-process output data and leverage our Paraview scripts.
Scaling/Performance: Learn how different hardware architectures scale and best practices for multi-GPU setup.

M-Star API: Integrating & Customizing¶

Python Pre API : Use the M-Star Python module to embed M-Star CFD into other broader enterprise workflows.
Parameter Sweeps: Find simplified execution of parameter sweeps.
Global Scripts: Add your own commands to the Solver GUI for streamlined workflow tasks.
