Fixes in Update Release of Simcenter STAR-CCM+2020.3
This section details the fixes that were introduced in the update release of Simcenter STAR-CCM+2020.3.

- CAEI-4733 Modify the server command string so that -xencoded-session works with the Launch Default Application setting of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ to Simcenter STAR-CCM+ co-simulation.
- DEP-2642 Deactivate the unnecessary PLM license pop-up in the Simcenter STAR-CCM+ family installer.
- EMAG-2051 Fix the Current Conservation Option in the Transverse Magnetic Potential models, where wrong results have been demonstrated for nonzero current sources.
- EMP-2236 Fix a SIGSEGV memory access exception that occurs when restoring simulation files with the Boiling Mass Transfer Rate model, saved in versions of Simcenter STAR-CCM+ prior to version 10.02.
- EMP-2321 Correct the accumulation of the virtual mass contribution for multi-speed AMUSIG.
- FDF-1597 Fix the inability to post-process gas properties with the Fluid Film model.
- HEAT-981 Change patch IDs to be global in the export to view factor ASCII files, so that they work in parallel processing as well as in serial.
- IMC-1512 Fix the Surface Data Mapper for surface-to-beam mapping so that mapped names are updated only when dependencies change.
- IMM-3411 Fix the initial mesh reset so that a simulation file with the Remeshing solver no longer generates an error message when opened and saved.
- IMM-3468 Fix B-spline interpolation to restore trajectory motion.
- PVIZ-5745 Fix the inability to restore the anti-periodic setting of a graphics periodic repeat transform.
- PVIZ-5749 Fix an error that occurs when axisymmetrical parameterization spanwise resolution is considerably higher than meridional.
- REA-3663 Fix the inability of Extended Coherent Flame models to calculate certain coefficients of the Boundary Species Flux.
- RUN-3525 Fix an issue with the runtime scripts that prevents Simcenter STAR-CCM+ from running with Cray MPI.
- STARICE-3882 Redefine the setup of the Liquid Film model wall heat flux when the Angelberger formulation is used.










Simcenter STAR-CCM+ is a complete multiphysics solution for the simulation of products and designs operating under real-world conditions.

These are the recommended hardware requirements to run Simcenter STAR-CCM+ and the CAD Clients. You can improve performance by using better specifications than those listed.

- Processor: 2.4 GHz CPU with at least 4 cores per CPU (to allow client and server to work in separate spaces and to run in parallel)
- Memory: 4 GB of memory per core.
- Disk Space: 9 GB of free disk space (more space is required to save simulations).
- Graphics Card: Dedicated graphics hardware that has 3D capability, z-buffer and translucency. Minimum screen resolution of 1024x768 pixels is recommended.
