- Windows 64-bit support on the x86 architecture using MPICH2 for parallel processing.
- Various improvements to the visualization window, including:
- A second scene specific object tree is now associated with the scene.
- The various part definition panels have been repositioned.
- Visualization toolbar is now integrated with other toolbars.
- You can choose whether or not a single-click in the tree displays the associated part in the scene (and vice-versa). This is useful when large simulations are being visualized.
- Display default and custom coordinate systems.
- The sign of moment reports has been reversed to make them consistent with force reports. They now report the moment exerted by the fluid on the boundary.
- Parallel simulations now support SGI-MPI.
- The parallel architecture has been reworked to allow larger simulations to be solved.
- You no longer need to pre-calculate a partitioning (the distribution of simulation data among a given number of worker processes) for a parallel simulation. STAR-CCM+ now does this automatically. That is why the Partitionings node has been removed from within the Tools node in the object tree.
- Tables and profiles have been expanded to support more file formats and types.
- A new directory structure for the location of the Java SDK is supported that allows multiple SDKs for different ports to be installed in the same location.
- The User Guide for Windows ports has been separated from the installer allowing User Guide updates without application updates.
- Several tutorials have been added to the User Guide
- The STAR-CCM+ Java API is now documented and available from the Help menu
