The trend towards ever increasing product diversity and, therefore towards smaller production quantities, combined with an ever decreasing development time, favors open die forging processes as there is no need for the expensive and time consuming manufacturing of shaping dies. Forming simulation favors this trend as it supports the design of open die forging processes, which is often done based on practical experience, and helps to minimize the number of time consuming and expensive test forgings.
The energy efficient manufacturing of semi-finished products and large components is becoming more and more important. It is therefore necessary to minimize the number of heating processes and to use the existing heat where possible so that forging and heat treatment operations are considered holistically. The simulation supports the design of optimized pass schedules and can predict the minimal heating time necessary.
To my best knowledge there is no open source software for casting modelling, that can do want you're interested in 'out of the box'. I also doubt that any commercial package could do this. Investment Casting. Investment casting simulation is achieved using simulation software ADSTEFAN. Figure shows the simulation of investment casting of a nozzle. Figure shows the temperature distribution in liquid metal after cavity filling, and the progress of solidification pattern, predicted by investment casting simulation. Dec 20, 2016.
The trend towards lightweight constructions frequently results in the maximum utilization of the load limitsof the material and in an increased use of special materials that require sophisticated processing. Especially within the production of semi-finished products, this demands the absolutely flawless, homogenous tuning of the desired properties of the material, while the procedural limits of the material, e.g. the temperature range, must not be exceeded. Within the simulation, the changes in the local material properties during open die forging can be taken into account when designing the process.
CIREX's knowledge in the area of casting simulations guarantees a stable process. Determining the proper casting configuration during production is a relatively complex process and the results are not always known beforehand. The casting process therefore needs to be simulated with a computer program. A casting simulation is a 3D model, which simulates the entire casting process. CIREX has used the same simulation software for many years and has built up considerable practical experience and knowledge. Casting simulations provide a high degree of process certainty, prevent technical problems and ensure that a project does not encounter delays.
Important parameters during casting simulations include:
- design of the gating system
- the choice of steel alloy
- air permeability in the ceramic mould
- temperature during casting
- the product's coagulation behaviour
3D CASTING SIMULATION PREVENTS EXPENSIVE PROTOTYPING
As CIREX has the software for performing casting simulations, we can make a significant contribution to the ultimate design and, with this, to the quality of the cast piece. We estimate that more than 90% of the errors in casting usually occur due to design errors and that only 10% are actually attributable to production problems. Many design errors can be observed on time using simulation software. After this, the design or the process parameters can be adapted. This ensures that no problems arise during the production of the casting.
The high cost of faulty casts is also prevented. Prototypes used to be made to detect errors; now this is done using 3D casting simulation. The so-called 'trial-and-error' procedure is now history. This saves you considerable time and money. The casting process and the cast piece can be optimised well using simulation software. It improves quality and reduces production costs considerably.

INVOLVE CIREX EARLY IN THE DESIGN PROCESS
Casting Simulation Software Open Source Free
If our engineers can be involved in the design process early, our specific knowledge of casting and coagulation simulations can provide you with huge benefits. Thanks to ESI (‘Early Supplier Involvement'), a significant degree of design optimisation is made possible.
So when tendering a cast piece, do not choose simply the lowest price, but evaluate the quality that can be offered as well. The possibility of combining simulation software ('theory') with our technicians' years of experience ('practice') provides many advantages and reduces your costs.
* ESI (‘Early Supplier Involvement')
Securecrt full version. The supplier is involved early in the design process to contribute supplier knowledge in a timely manner: the potential results include significant cost reductions and simplification of the design and/or product improvement.
