Note

Computational fluid dynamics is a method for simulating fluid flow and heat transfer in complex geometries, used for optimizing casting processes and predicting defects.

  • CFD simulations are typically used in the design and optimization of casting processes, allowing engineers to predict and mitigate defects such as porosity, shrinkage, and hot tearing before physical prototypes are made.
  • ProCAST is a general-purpose CFD solver for simulating a wide range of casting processes, including sand casting, die casting, and investment casting.
  • ProCAST includes advanced features for modeling solidification, microstructure evolution, and defect formation.
