Flow 3-D


Flow Science Inc. 683 Harkle Rd. Suite A Santa Fe, NM 87505 Tel: 505/982-0088 Website: www.flow3d.com Email: sales@flow3d.com


Entry Price Point: $1,000 for a


trial license Overview: Flow-3D generates


flow and solidification simulation results for casting processes and includes dynamic meshing for easy model setup, a materials property database and extensive post-processing capabilities. Newest Features: The software


now simulates iron shrink with high carbon content metals to predict the formation of graphite and carbide. It also has a fully-coupled thermal stress model that predicts stresses and distortion within a cast part or die. This allows users for the first time to model deformations in the solid state, helping avoid warpage to create better quality cast parts.


The software also offers a sand core simulation suite that includes core shooting, core dry- ing, core blowing and core gas defect prediction. Software’s


Strengths: Flow 3-D’s filling accuracy leads to accuracy of solidi- fication by provid- ing the correct thermal profile for solidification. What’s Unique:


Treatment of flow- ing fluid surfaces is modeled using TruVof, a true implementation of the Volume-of-Fluid method and the fractional area volume obstacle representation (FAVOR) method.


Combined with easy-to-use mesh generation tools, Flow 3-D provides accurate results without sacrificing speed.
