Electric Vehicles, Ground Transportation

During the casting process, defects can occur at any stage. Physical try-outs of the engineered process, without prior simulation, can result in unexpected issues, producing unusable parts. In worst-case scenarios, where process adjustments fail to achieve the desired quality, new tool and cooling channel designs become necessary, incurring significant costs and delays. Modeling the die casting process from beginning-to-end ensures precise defect prediction and therefore allows optimal tool and process design, reducing reliance on costly and time-consuming physical prototypes and try-out. 

Read on to find out how to engineer and optimize the (high pressure) die casting process with accurate simulation software.
