Casting Solidification Simulation Software
(Available for Apple Macintosh, UNIX, Windows 95/98/NT)
With the assistance of 3D CAD modelling systems such as AutoCAD,
Pro-Engineer, SolidWorks and Form-Z for the initial design,
CastCAE provides an accurate and easy to use method for predicting
the behavioural characteristics of castings during the filling
and solidification process in a foundry. This gives the benefit
of better and more cost effective methoding for castings (the
use of risers and chills).
Different methods can be batch simulated, using a variety
of risers, chills, temperatures and materials, often within
a short space of time, to provide the best solution for the
foundry. Results can be viewed and analysed by the use of
easy to understand movies, either showing the filling and
solidification process from start to finish, or slice by slice
through the casting at different time stages.
Features:
- Accurate and reliable mesh generation from 3D CAD produced
STL files of individual casting components (casting, risers,
chills etc)
- Easy to understand menus to guide through the simulation
setup process
- A wide variety of materials and result options, all contained
within the same module
- Gravity driven feeding
- Time animation of complete filling and solidification, and
slice by slice tomographs of temperature field and defect
formation
- Batch simulation (to run several methods successively)
- Defects, porosity and niyama criterion as movies or 3D X-Ray
- Various packages in a wide price range (Start, Basic and
Advanced)
