• No CAD license required
• No platform limitations
• Reads a variety of CAD formats
• Supports face names
• CAD-Clients
• Uses CAD package Kernel to create geometry for Simcenter STAR-CCM+
• Drives CAD Design Parameters
• Maintains face names during design changes
• Maintains face names created in Simcenter STAR-CCM+
• Allows assembly replacement

Study
Types & Analysis
Study Types (Design Manager)
Evaluate CAD parametric model robustness to parameter variance from 3D-

CAD CAD or CAD-Client parameters
Robustness The user specifies a list of variants for a Manual sampling or a range for
each parameter for a Sweep sampling
Run the part through a pre-defined set of conditions

Manual
The user supplies a list of designs and design manager runs them
Understand performance of the device as function of something else

Sweep
The user specifies a range and increment for each study variable and
Design Manager runs the full factorial design table
Study Types (Design Manager with STAR-Innovate add-on)
Evaluate CAD parametric model robustness to parameter variance from 3D-

CAD or CAD-Client parameters
CAD
Robustness The user specifies a range for each parameter and the number of
evaluation for the LHS plan
Find better designs in the shortest time / fewest runs. The user inputs a
range for all of the variables and the SHERPA method attempts to find the
best design within the prescribed number of runs
1) Weighted combination of multiple objectives – 1 or more objectives and
Optimization constraints are combined into a single objective function that SHERPA tries
to either maximize or minimize
2) Pareto optimization – 2 or more objectives that are individually optimized
to identify the optimum trade-off relationship

Study Types (Design Manager with STAR-Innovate add-on)
Understand performance of the device as function of one or more variables
DOE
Users plug in a range of values and Design Manager runs a sub set of the
grid. Either 2 and 3 level full factorials DoE are supported
Realize the variation of the outputs given small changes to the inputs, i.e.
manufacturing or installation tolerance
Stochastic
Probabilistic Latin hypercube sampling which distributes variables according
a user defined probability distribution function. Used to determine how
random variation in a design inputs effects design outputs

Study Analysis
Groups of designs that can be filtered according to user needs

Design Sets
Can be used as inputs to other studies
X-Y Plotting of report values

Plotting
History plots to understand performance as the optimization runs

Intelligent Search:
The SHERPA Method
SHERPA Search Framework

Icy? Walking Steep cliff
Unknown Terrain (Design Space): path? face?
Rocky?
Crevasse? Heavy Loose

• Would you really feel safe to only rely on one strategy and set
of equipment? snow? gravel?
--- That’s the traditional approach
• What you need is a SHERPA who knows all of the strategies,

carries all your equipment, and tailors the approach to the
terrain encountered
--- That’s our modern SHERPA approach

Intelligent Search:
The SHERPA Method

Hybrid
• Blend of search strategies used simultaneously
• Global and local search performed together
• Leverages the best of all methods
Adaptive
• Tunes itself to the design space
• Efficient with simple and complex spaces
• Very cost effective for complex problems

Intelligent Search:
The SHERPA Method

No more need for:
 Variable screening  Model simplification
 Space sampling (DOE)  Search strategy selection
 Surface fitting (RSM)  Algorithm tuning
Only need for:
 Variable
 Project objectives and constraints
 Maximum time allocated to the exploration study

Flexible Licensing
Flexible Licensing all along the Process
Here the user is reading the design parameters from the simulation,
SETUP defining the constraints and goals as well as defining the run behavior
Here the user is not interacting with the tool directly. The tool is
RUN however driving the simulations and collecting the results, this is the
bulk of time and STAR-CCM+ license usage, usually.
This is the same as RUN, functionally, but here the user can directly
MONITOR see the simulation outputs as they come in.
In this step the user is getting the engineering value back. Here is
POST where all of the runs are collected, organized and analyzed. This steps
drives an engineering decision.

Running on Clusters
Running on Clusters
Design Manager allows users to run multiple simulations concurrently on high performance
compute resources easily and effectively.
There are currently two methods to do this:
• Pre-Allocation: Users will submit the Design Manager project and all of the resources for the
study are reserved via the queue, and the design manager will manage the submission of
designs within the reserved resource. Supporting Power Tokens and Power Sessions
• Local (Head/Vis Node) Submission: Users will submit the study and the resources for each
design are submitted to the queue. The Design Manager server process must be on the a node
with access to the shared file system and the ability to submit to the queue.

Efficient Cluster Usage with Pre-Allocation
Key Information
Pre-allocation enables users to run design studies in a more familiar,

efficient and reliable way The system queue allocates the
requested resources to Design Manager
which creates and manages its own
Familiar: In Simcenter STAR-CCM+ users submit 1 job to a cluster via queueing of those allocated resources
the queueing system. When submitting in pre-allocation mode, Design
Manager behaves the same way.
Local Workstation Cluster Head Node/ Design Manager master process

Queueing System
The Design Manager file and
the baseline simulation are The Design Manager job is submitted
transferred to the cluster as a STAR-CCM+ job would be.
Users will submit a design study as a

Key Information

efficient and reliable way
Efficient: Run jobs in the most efficient way for the simulation on any
number of cores within the allocated resource.
• If a cluster has 16 cores per node, pre-allocation allows to run

• 16 concurrent designs on 1 core or Design Manager master process
• 1 design on 16 cores and anywhere in between.
• Efficiently run simulations on as many or as few cores as needed

Reliable: The Design Manager server starts on one of the allocated

• No waiting for individual designs to get through the queue

Pre-Allocation
Key Information
Users will submit the Design Manager Project to the queue. Resources should be sized Setup
based on total resources desired for the study. Design Manager will then act as its own
queueing system within the resources allocated by the queue. • The study is setup locally
• Benefits:
• Resources are allocated for the entire study thus allowing the study to complete Transfer
without having individual jobs ‘held up’ in the queue
• The study and the
• Most efficient usage of resource for exploration simulation to the cluster
• Drawback:
• When doing optimization there can be some resource efficiency loss as the design Submit
manager must wait for an entire SHERPA cycle to finish before starting the next
cycle • Submit the Design
Manager job to the queue

Local submission
Key Information
The Design Manager server is started on a node that has the ability to submit to the Setup
queue (Head or Vis). The users then starts the study from the Design Manager Client
(local or remote). Design Manager will submit each design to the queue • The study is setup locally
Transfer
• Benefits:
• Simple setup that leverages the client server capability of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ • The study and the
simulation to the cluster
so users can submit jobs to the queue directly from the user interface
Run Design Manager
• Drawback: • Start Design Manager in a

location where it can
• The server process (lightweight) must be running for the duration of the study on a submit to the queue
node that can submit to the queues Submit
• Design Manager with

manage submission of
jobs to the queue
