Simulation of the foundry process is an excellent tool to use in the early stages of the design phase of a new component. Casting simulation is primarily used to optimize process parameters at casting in terms of how mould filling and solidification behaves in order to minimize defects.
Cause
Using casting simulation helps the mechanical designer to evaluate the probability to produce the cast component without to severe defects in areas with high loads. Directional solidification is a buzzword i.e. explanation on how the liquid metal front solidifies towards the final parts throughout the casting. Casting simulation software is designed upon thermophysical data and adopted to simulate the solidification of liquid melt. The software has material data for hundreds of different alloys and mould materials with properties starting way above solidification temperature. Many of the data is obtained empirically.
OpenSurgSim is an open-source simulation solution made to create a dedicated and real-time surgical simulation. It has an open framework that includes the required building blocks for surgical simulations like native device support, graphics, haptic feedback, discrete collision detection, physics simulation. There an interesting article regarding this on SolidWorks blog. According to this Beaver Valley Alloy Foundry in Monaca, PA used SolidWorks for 3D but I am not sure if they actually used it for casting simulation as well.
Simulation can give information on isolated volumes that solidifies last and areas that can cause defects. The designer can get feed back to suitable changes for the cast component. For the foundry it is possible to examine how the methoding, i.e. how the gating system is filling the cavity and how feeders (extra material) can fill the last solidifying areas.
Method
To perform a simulation, a 3D CAD-model is needed in a suitable format readable in SolidWorks or IronCAD. The CAD-model is then scaled to compensate for the shrinkage taken place during cooling. Gating system is created, and the file is uploaded to a simulation software. Falling in reverse fashionably late lyrics. The simulation is carried out on a PC on which the software for simulation is installed.
Deliveries
Results from simulation is compiled in a Power Point presentation showing films and pictures followed by comments. Written report can be delivered upon demand.

Facts
Software application and development platform for medical image visualization, analysis, quantification, segmentation, and registration. Supports all imaging modalities, wide range of data types (surface and volumetric meshes, textured surface scans, spectrum data, points, lines, curves, tables, etc.). In the final stage of HPDC, we also look at the thermally induced stresses when the casting part is being cooled after ejection from the die. Tangible Modeling with Open Source GIS. Multiple users can alter the physical model by hand during scanning, thereby providing input for simulation of geophysical processes in this setting. Attached below, you will find the list of softwares for casting simulation - an extract from my Master's thesis. 2018-06-05 13-23-37AS34598178con tent1.png.
