Entry Price Point: $18,000, which
includes preprocessor, mold filling and solidification main processor, as well as porosity prediction. Overview: Users can use the
universal program package to calcu- late molten metal flow for any casting process. It is a finite element method (FEM)-based code, which enables high precision calculation of solidification and stress and distortion. Mold filling procedures use either a front-tracking algorithm or the newly developed finite volume method/FEM combination. Newest Features: WinCast now
features a user interface, mpi-supported main processor and reconstructed postprocessor. Te software has the ca- pability to save the results as small AVI movies or GIF pictures. Te results can be stored as virtual reality model- ing language data to send to clients to discuss them on a 3-D basis. Quantita- tive results, such as porosity, are shown in an ASTM Level distribution; stress and distortion are shown relative to the original geometry. Software’s
Strengths: Anyone in the metalcasting faciltiy can use the software without formal training. It can be used with all main casting processes.
What’s Unique: Te documentation
system stores the complete history of the casting as a follow-up system in the shop. Tis software combines modeling and planning and can be used as input for commercial administrative systems.
