CFD SOFTWARE FOR ENGINEERS & RESEARCHERS

Run Complex Physics Simulations Instantly

M-Star solves advanced Lattice Boltzmann algorithms on GPUs to help you produce detailed, accurate process simulations in minutes.

How It Works

M-Star pairs modern algorithms with modern GPU architectures, requiring minimal user specification and setup times—and delivering maximum science.

Step 1

Define Your Geometry

Define your specific process and simulation parameters in the GUI. Focus on what matters without getting bogged down in CAD shape healing or meshing complex geometries.

Import existing geometry, including low-quality or imperfect files (CAD, IGES, STEP, STL)
Leverage our growing catalog of built-in parametric geometries
Generate common mixing impellers and tanks, and ASME heads and pipes dynamically

Step 2

Layer Extraordinary Physics

Our combination of a Lattice Boltzmann CFD solver and high-resolution meshes provides the basis fluid model for all M-Star simulations. With M-Star, more problems are solvable—with unparalleled speed and accuracy.

Leverage our advanced non-Newtonian fluids and custom user-defined fluid models
Enrich models with additional physics, such as transient chemical reactions and particle motions
Generate results with incredible detail and accuracy

Step 3

Perform Rich Analysis

Use our integrated post-processing suite to analyze data as it’s generated in real time by the solver.

Calculate common items such as power number, residence time, and blend time without leaving the M-Star platform
Output data into common formats compatible with most post-processing tools
Create photorealistic renderings, backed by high fidelity numerical solutions
