the communication between production engineers and designers,” said Heisser. “For example, a new criterion to predict cracks allows the user to fi nd stress- related casting quality problems more quickly. It is now also possible to quan- titatively assess casting distortion and compare these virtual measurements with the real part geometry.” User results can be defined and


created automatically during a simulation or subsequently in the result perspective. Diecasting users will fi nd an improved


visualization of the process time line and extended consideration of the heat trans- fer conditions between die casting and die as a function of the local feeding condi- tions. T e MAGMAhpdc module now supports the assessment of the real casting temperature as a function of the current shot sleeve conditions. A new “resume point” capability al-


lows fl exibility in restarting the simula- tion with modifi ed diecasting process conditions, based on the previous or next-to-last casting cycle. Sand casting processes can be

for specifi c processes, materials or quality aspects: • MAGMAiron, MAGMAsteel, MAGMAnonferrous—material- specifi c modules allow the prediction of microstructures and properties and consider alloys and metallurgy.


• MAGMAhpdc, MAGMAlpdc, MAGMApermanentmold, MAG- MAwheel—process modules allow the consideration of specifi c process requirements and control of the manufacturing process.


• MAGMAcore+mold, MAG- MAdielife—products and func- tionalities for the prediction of core shooting, gassing, and purging and the assessment of die life aid in making the best use of available knowledge.


• MAGMA HT thermal, MAGMA


stress, MAGMAlink—modules for simulating stresses of the compo- nent after casting, heat treatment, or machining and the exchange of information based on simulation re- sults assures the design of cast parts for their performance. Stress simulation results can be


prepared for faster post-processing. And for the quantitative assessment of casting distortion in the measure- ment perspective, it is now possible to compare the virtual measurement with the real part geometry. In addition, a new database of riser


sleeves, generated by ASK Chemicals, is now available. Casting process simulation allows designers to optimize designs by ensuring the desired material properties without maintaining excessive safety margins. It also facilitates communication between development, production, management, sales and casting buyers to ensure castable parts are produced according to customer specifi cations and in a timely manner. 
