Steel casting simulation software

This ensures that no problems arise during the production of the casting. The high cost of faulty casts is also prevented. Prototypes used to be made to detect errors; now this is done using 3D casting simulation.

This saves you considerable time and money. The casting process and the cast piece can be optimised well using simulation software. It improves quality and reduces production costs considerably. If our engineers can be involved in the design process early, our specific knowledge of casting and coagulation simulations can provide you with huge benefits.

Ready for a license? Spokane Industries , established in , is a steel foundry, metal products and precision castings facility of more than , m 2 in Spokane, Washington, USA.

Experience, expertise, effort and the latest technology differentiate Spokane Industries from other foundries in the marketplace. Proud to be a family-owned company, many employees are second and third generation, who are personally and professionally committed to their customers. EN ES. EN TR. This information is very helpful, especially in multi-cavity castings where the flow between casting cavities varies.

This FLOW-3D CAST filling simulation of a complex thin walled part shows the air entrainment variable to understand where defects can become an issue in the filling process. Visualization of air entrainment can be used to understand die venting, back-pressure, and areas of porosity. This FLOW-3D CAST filling simulation of an automotive component visualizes the oxide formation variable to understand where defects can become an issue in the filling process.

The mold is spun about its vertical axis at rpm, providing an outward acceleration of g at the surface of the mold. The left frame shows the pickup of the melt by the mold and helps determine the rate at which the melt distributes vertically over time. The upper right frame shows the solid fraction in the melt; this analysis helps determine the proper mold preheat to avoid premature solidification.

In the lower right frame, the entrained air mass concentration is shown. As long as solidification does not occur prior to complete filling, all of the entrained air will be forced to the inner diameter of the casting, to be machined off later. The goal of this simulation is to determine the cooling required to maintain a stable solidification profile during the continuous casting of Aluminum A plates.

Melt is introduced into the process through a calcium silicate nozzle. Copper-Cobalt-Beryllium molds on both sides of the melt contain cooling channels to draw heat from the melt. This centrifugal casting filling simulation with non-intertial reference frames allows the user to view the fluid front in the rotating mold. Simulation courtesy of Simulated Engineering.

Investment Casting Workspace. Featuring a fast and accurate shell mold generation tool and full radiation model. Easy-to-use tool for modeling the shooting and hardening of sand cores. High Pressure Die Casting Workspace. An intuitive modeling environment designed to help engineers model HPDC applications. While turbulence and air entrapment in the molten metal can pose a challenge to successful castings, even the smallest air bubbles that occur during the course of a filling process can be reliably predicted and tracked with FLOW-3D CAST.

Changes to the casting process or mold design can be tested in subsequent simulations to ultimately produce the best possible component quality. Contact Sales sales flow3d. Proud to be Corporate Members. I have personally modeled the filling, solidification, and cooling of countless castings, with the goal being to maximize metal cleanliness and soundness, and to control grain structure, segregation and stress related defects.

We have had a great deal of success using FLOW-3D CAST to predict casting performance, to optimize quality, and to reduce cost by reducing rework, scrap, and lead-time. Richard Emmerich Sr.

If during die cast process development, any part design changes need to be recommended to a customer, FLOW-3D CAST allows us quickly and reliably evaluate part design changes, and present to a customer not only the proposed changes but also the effects those changes will have on the part performance.
