Casting simulation can help your foundry meet its commitment to parts quality and deadlines while increasing profitability by avoiding late design changes, and reducing scrap rates.
ProCAST enables leading cast parts manufacturing companies to virtually test their manufacturing processes as early as possible, so they can “get it right” during production trials.
With its Finite Element technology, it also predicts complex issues like deformations and residual stresses and comprehensively addresses most castable alloys and most casting processes including die casting (HPDC including Hot/Cold/DCM, LPDC, CPC, GDC/PM, Tilt/Rotacast, Vacuum, Semi-Solid), sand casting, investment casting, and the multiple variants associated with these processes.
Our casting simulation software ProCAST enables foundries to:
- Predict, analyze, measure and quantify the most common casting defects in the earliest stages of design
- Simulate the entire process – from furnace to final casting to capturing and tracking all physics
- Automatically determine the casting part's best process window to reach the final quality goal through Design Of Experiments (DOE), Optimization & Process Robustness analysis
- Co-design parts with their customers, to ensure the best castability
- Select the right HPDC machine for producing specific parts
Featuring:
- Automatic shell mold generation
- Modelling wrapping configuration
- Radiation with shadowing effects
- Grain structure prediction
- Residual stresses prediction
- Final distortion prediction
