Simcenter STAR-CCM+
: Electrochemistry Simulation

Predict and understand real-world behavior of electrochemial applications.

Our comprehensive electrochemistry simulation suite includes the building blocks of electrochemistry, various degrees of fidelity, tailor-made electrochemistry models, multiphase electrochemistry and design exploration capabilities.

With electrochemistry simulation in Simcenter, you can achieve decreased resistances, minimize degradation and attain higher deposition/etching rates. This lowers design/operational/maintenance costs while ushering in innovative new fuel cell types, operating ranges and novel processes and materials.

Electrochemistry simulation is made up of powerful features that allow you to build a custom solution.

Application-specific Electrochemistry Models

Simcenter includes tailor-made electrochemistry models for various applications. The electrodeposition coating model offers identification and remedying of positions with no or too thin coating in body-in-white manufacturing processes optimizing manufacturing spend and time. The Li-ion battery model helps simulate the design and analysis of microstructural topology of such batteries to understand performance factors and predict risk of dendrite growth.

Electrochemistry Multiphysics

Products aren’t designed in isolation and multi-physics products require multi-physics simulations. Utilize tight coupling between your electrochemistry models, flow and energy to simulate the correct real-world electrochemical behavior between species in any multi-component phase and ions in adjacent solid or between ions/electrons in solid porous phases and multi-component fluid species.

Flexible and Generic Electrochemistry Models

Simcenter offers the building blocks of complete electrochemistry simulation in one tool, bringing electromagnetism, electrochemical reactions and species, bulk ion chemical reactions and coupled plasma electron simulation together. Combine models to achieve required level of fidelity and understand real-world behavior of electrochemical applications including fuel cells, electroplating, wet etching, corrosion and plasma enhanced CVD (PECVD)
