Siemens Star CCM+ 2021.3.1

Siemens Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Viewer is affected by a vulnerability that could be triggered when the application reads scene (.sce) files. If a user is tricked to open a malicious file with the affected application, this could lead to a crash, and potentially also to arbitrary code execution or data extraction on the target host system.

Siemens has released an update for Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Viewer and recommends to update to the latest version to fix the vulnerability. Siemens recommends to avoid opening of untrusted files from unknown sources.

Note:You can use it to examine a scene or Description as you would in Simcenter STAR-CCM+, when the display contents are exported to a three-dimensional .sce graphics file. As an alternative to running the full Simcenter STAR-CCM+ client, this file format is strictly for interactive viewing. You cannot make scene or Description modifications as you would in Simcenter STAR-CCM+, such as adding parts to be displayed, changing the coloring or using a different scalar.

Fixes in Update Release of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2021.3.1
This section details the fixes that were introduced in the update release of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ 2021.3.1.
- ADJ-1000 Fix an error that occurs during evaluation of adjoint temperature.
- CADX-1662 Modify the 3D-CAD import process so that when sheet bodies are ignored, faceted sheet bodies are still imported.
- IMC-1930 Fix the inability to activate the Solution Interpolation Model in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Lite.
- PPR-2436 Fix missing axis labels on Descriptions.
- PVIZ-6520 Resolve invalid cell indices and data array sizes while Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Viewer parses geometric data for .sce file import.
- SRM-2978 Fix interaction between gap closure seed points and volume refinement so that gap closures are no longer created where there are no gaps to fill.
- VBAT-6833 Fix an error that results from an attempt to delete a Battery Module.







Simcenter STAR-CCM+is a complete multiphysics solution for the simulation of products and designs operating under real-world conditions. Uniquely, Simcenter STAR-CCM+ brings automated design exploration and optimization to the simulation toolkit of every engineer, allowing you to efficiently explore the entire design space instead of focusing on single point design scenarios.

Spaceflight is facing a massive revival, hypersonic flights are about to experience a renaissance in civil aviation, more down to earth applications like home appliances need to continue to get more eco-friendly, medical devices like heart valves have the potential to save the life of millions and the everlasting engineering challenge of getting the heat out of all things hot remains a billion-dollar challenge across all industries.

And while all these applications have the potential to change human lives for the better they come along with an ever-increasing engineering complexity.

The key to cope with this complexity is the uncompromising implementation of a digital twin and simulation technology. And yet simulation can only bring value if it models that complexity and if at the same time engineers can do simulations quickly enough to influence design. Hence, to keep the competitive edge, companies need to equip their simulation engineers with CFD software that delivers high-fidelity physics models, smart simulation techniques and fast meshing technologies.
