FLOW 3D CAST v5.0

The ALL NEW FLOW-3D CAST v5.0 is a major leap forward when it comes to metal casting simulation and process modeling. Casters will now be able to choose the process they want to simulate and the software will provide the appropriate process parameters, geometry types, and sensible defaults. This substantially simplifies the simulation setup. Additionally, FLOW-3D CAST’s robust simulation engine and new tools for predicting defects provide insights that will shorten design cycles and reduce cost. Featured developments include thermal modulus and hot spot identification output for solidification simulations, filling defect tools for identifying trapped gases and predicting venting efficiency, and faster and more robust pressure and stress solvers.

The ALL NEW FLOW-3D CAST v5.0 comes in Suites that contain related processes. The Permanent Mold Suite includes process workspaces such as gravity die casting, low pressure die casting (LPDC), as well as tilt pour casting. For each process, the user interface only displays what is relevant to that particular process. The Sand Casting Suite includes processes such as gravity sand casting and low pressure sand casting (LPSC). The Lost Foam Suite includes everything in the Sand Casting Suite plus the lost foam process workspace. And the HPDC Suite includes everything relevant to high pressure die casting including thermal stresses and deformations. Within each process workspace, sub-processes like filling, solidification, and cooling are neatly-connected simulations that run one after another, modeling the complete process from start to finish, just as a metal caster would do it on the shop floor. The user can expand the process to include steps like the complete movement and filling of the ladle by dipping it into the melt pool and transferring it to the shot sleeve or pour cup. For LPDC, the process engineer can model the pressurization of the crucible and the flow of metal into the mold. With FLOW-3D CAST v5.0, the possibilities are endless.
