for mass-produced, lightweight components made from metal, predominantly aluminum and magnesium alloys. Most high pressure die cast parts are manu- factured for the automotive industry, but consumer electronics also are starting to capitalize on the gains this technology has to offer. Developed jointly by Access e.V. and CD-adapco,
STAR-Cast is a powerful casting simulation mod- ule. Drawing on CD-adapco’s 35 years of expertise in thermal-fluid simulation and Access’ 29 years of experi- ence in casting and metallurgy, STAR-Cast leverages both CD-adapco’s expertise in flow simulation and Access’ know-how and skills in casting. STAR-Cast integrates industry-leading CFD technol-
ogy with the specific models required by the casting engi- neer, bringing a new level of precision into casting process simulation for the manufacturing industry. STAR-Cast provides the engineer the freedom to refine models so that all the physics can be resolved at once from a single user interface, making it a very effective tool for high pressure diecasting. STAR-Cast can handle flow-related issues on top of the typical solidification related problems encountered in casting. By enabling the user to include the interaction of molten metal and air, flow-related de- fects can be addressed accurately and better solutions can be achieved early on in the design process.
压铸技术是适用于批量生产，以铝合金和镁合金为主 要原材料的轻量化零部件的成型制造技术。大部分压铸 件用于汽车行业，但是，消费电子产品也开始分享这项 技术带来的利益。 由Access e.V. 研究中心和CD-adapco公司共同研
发的STAR-Cast软件是一款强大的铸造模拟软件。利 用CD-adapco公司在热流体模拟行业35年的生产经 验和Access研究中心在铸造和冶金行业29年的科研经 验，STAR-Cast软件结合了CD-adapco公司的热流体模 拟技术经验和Access研究中心在铸造方面的技术优势。 STAR-Cast软件结合了行业领先的CFD技术和铸造 工程师所需的相关模型，使制造行业的铸造模拟工艺 精度上升到一个新的水平。使用STAR-Cast软件，工程 师可以自由地改善模型，所有的物理问题可以在同一个 用户界面立即解决，对于压铸工艺来说是非常有效的工 具。STAR-Cast软件能够解决铸造中遇到的与一般凝固 有关的流体问题。用户可以使金属液和空气相互作用， 因此，与流体有关的缺陷可以得到准确的处理，而且在 早期的设计阶段就可以达到更好的效果。
