Usage Notes
To show the software versions:
    module avail starcd
OR
    module avail starccm

Loading the module will set the path and any necessary variables:
    module load starcd/version
OR
module load starccm/version

Note: STAR-CD users must also source an environment file after loading the module.
   source /util/academic/StarCD/_version_/etc/setstar
The '.' character can also be used in place of "source".

Additional Information

The COMSOL graphical interface benefits from using CCR's remote visualization nodes in the OnDemand portal.  More details about remote visualization in OnDemand can be found in this KB article.

STAR-CD and STAR-CCM+ jobs can be launched in unattended "batch" mode. Example SLURM scripts are available on the CCR front-end at:
/util/academic/slurm-scripts/slurm-star-cd (for users of STAR-CD)
OR
    /util/academic/slurm-scripts/slurm-starccm-single-node (for users of STAR-CCM+ running in parallel on a single node)
    /util/academic/slurm-scripts/slurm-starccm-multi-node (for users of STAR-CCM+ running in parallel on multiple nodes)

An example STAR-CCM+ model is available on the CCR front-end at:
     /util/academic/StarCCM/example

An example STAR-CD model is also available on the CCR front-end at:
     /util/academic/StarCD/example

STAR-CD and STAR-CCM+ manuals are available on the CCR front-end in pdf format and may be viewed using xpdf. The location of the manuals is stored into an environment variable ($STARCD_PDF_DOCS or $STARCCM_PDF_DOCS) when a module is loaded. To list the available files use:
        find $STARCD_PDF_DOCS -name "*.pdf"
OR
        ls $STARCCM_PDF_DOCS/*.pdf
