thick-walled, a bigger mesh resolution is used, and for sensitive areas, a fi ner mesh is used. Shortening simulation time is crucial for all facilities to be able to optimize all their castings. What’s Unique: NovaFlow&Solid
can make casting production more green by letting users investigate and be guided how to increase their yield and optimize the production process. T is will help save energy, material and eventually use fewer resources. T e
price for the software (and additional modules) is often negotiated on the basis of the customers’ need for it, and NovaCast off ers diff erent kinds of licenses which depends on the extent of use by the customer.

Entry Price Point: $49,000 and
it includes gravity sand and gravity permanent mold processes. Overview: WinCast expert
calculations are based on one FE- Mesh. Mold-filling, solidification, residual stress, shrinkage, deforma- tion, mechanical properties, life cycle prediction, micro structure, and strength are all derived from the same mesh. WinCast expert can be used for all casting processes such as gravity sand, gravity pour, low pres- sure, high pressure, investment and continuous casting. Newest Features: WinCast expert
4.0 will be released at the end of Oc- tober and has a new interface based on the newest software architecture, mini- mal hardware requirements necessary, and a riser library that includes CAD data of the most common riser designs. T e exothermic material data are
measured by RWP. It also supports the user to set up his or her quality report– e.g. result images can automatically be transferred into this quality document with the right format and to the correct position. After WinCast installation the basic quality report can be set up with all recurring company information. So it avoids redundant work for the future. T ere is also real-time analysis and cycle calculation. Multi-core access is available on request. Software’s Strengths: All results are available immediately after calculation, meaning pre-result defi nition is not
necessary. Stress calculation of the cast- ing and tool/die is precise and includes hot tearing prediction. Other strengths include the life cycle prediction of the die, its classical FEA capabilities, prediction of mechanical properties and matrix–DAS calculation. What’s Unique: For a basic simu-
lation of casting the gravity can be switched off . T is avoids self-shrink- age. Only the areas which really create defects will be shown afterwards. It is easier to fi nd out the right casting orientation, and there is one basic FE mesh for all following calculations.

FIRST TIME… EVERY TIME.
BETTER PARTS THE Applied Process Inc. clocks the competition.
With so much riding on your parts, you simply don’t have time for inferior-performing solutions. As the industry leader in providing austempered ductile iron (ADI), Applied Process develops parts that meet the most stringent industry standards…time and time again. ADI parts are stronger, lighter, quieter, more uniform and have greater wear- resistance—providing increased performance with decreased production costs. It’s time to put the power of Applied Process to work for you.
