CASTING INNOVATIONS
Indian Institute Offers Cloud-Based Simulation Lab Considering the growth of auto-
mation, CAD and simulation tech- nologies, the metalcasting industry faces an opportunity to coordinate and cooperate like never before. One professor at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, Mumbai, India, is hoping to use developing technology to educate, train and provide experience for metalcasting students and professionals. Dr. B. Ravi, mechanical engineer-
ing professor at IIT, has launched the E-Foundry Network, a free online resource focused on casting design and simulation. Te heart of the E-Foundry is a cloud-based simulation lab powered by a quick simulation algorithm that allows users to upload 3-D CAD files and view solidification temperatures in just a few minutes. The casting model is uploaded to the E-Foundry server, which checks
The E-Foundry includes a variety of education tools that are free to all visitors.
the file, generates a 3-D view and sends the image to the user’s device for visual verification. After user confirmation, the simulation pro-
gram on the server subdivides the casting model into a fine or coarse mesh, computes the solidification temperatures, and post-processes
