ProCAST
Mega Casting的虚拟模型

Achieving efficient die design is a challenge that requires a powerful, predictive casting simulation software. ProCAST is the solution, expertly handling large models including e.g. casting, die, vents, gating systems, shot sleeves, pistons, cooling channels, and ejector pins and every phase of the casting process —from die heating and filling to solidification and ejection—while ensuring a perfect match to performance standards. 

  • 35+ years of industrially proven, highly-scalable multi-physics solver for minimal turnaround times, supporting up to 32 cores (Windows)/ 64 cores (Linux) and customizable to handle flow, thermal, and stress simulations either together or separately as required.
  • end-to-end process modeling for highly accurate predictions of key casting phenomena throughout the entire process, from dosing and filling to solidification, ejection, and quenching 
  • comprehensive integrated databases
    • material database, including aluminium and magnesium alloys, integrating the COMPUTHERM thermodynamic database to automatically provide all required material data based on the alloy's chemical composition
    • die casting machine database allows easy linking of piston movement to machine characteristics, ensuring accurate filling patterns crucial for predicting filling defects and flow speeds
  • integrated FE flow and stress solver facilitates single model approach to model the entire high pressure die casting process in a single environment, eliminating the need to use different solutions for the analysis of filling, solidification, ejection and distortion.
  • intuitive process-oriented workflows allow for fast and easy setup of simulations without the need to be a deeply trained numerical expert
  • flexible token licenses to shift between graphical interface and solver, allowing to efficiently handle bottlenecks during the engineering phases
