Simulations help designers and metalcasters identify potential defects, allowing adjustments to a part or casting set-up prior to production.

Metalcasting simulation processes use advanced computer modeling to predict how molten metal will flow, solidify, and cool within a mold – a practical step between design and production. Simulations help designers and metalcasters identify potential defects (e.g., shrinkage, porosity, air entrapment, and incomplete filling), allowing design adjustments to the part or casting set-up. By visualizing temperature distribution and material behavior, manufacturers can optimize gating systems, riser placement, and mold geometry to improve casting quality and optimize development time and production costs.
