FLOW-3D cast v2022

Description

FLOW-3D CAST is a state-of-the-art metal casting simulation modeling platform that combines extraordinarily accurate modeling with versatility, ease of use, and high performance CLOUD computing capabilities. For every metal casting process, FLOW-3D CAST has a workspace ready to put you on a quick, intuitive path to modeling success. With 11 process workspaces, powerful post-processing, pioneering filling and solidification and defect analysis, FLOW-3D CAST delivers both the tools and roadmap for designing optimal casting solutions.

Continuous Casting Workspace Highlights

  • Advanced motion controls include vertical billet, horizontal pipe and roller sheet casting
  • Heat and cooling dynamic controls provide unsurpassed thermal management analysis
  • Complete simulation of fluid – solid transition in motion with advanced thermal stress analysis

Workspace Overview

The Continuous Casting Workspace provides continuous casting users with an easy-to-use tool for simulating all the commonly used foundry processes, including continuous billet casting as well as direct chill continuous casting. With the new Continuous Casting Workspace, users will find the tools they need to model their continuous casting process and optimize process parameters. Multi-block meshing provides an efficient method for even more accuracy in high shear and high temperature gradient regions of the casting. Process parameters such as mold and billet cooling, melt flow rate, superheat, and mold geometry are included in the analysis. Melt surface evolution and mold motion are quickly visualized during post-processing where fill and solidification patterns are also readily assessed, so that process modifications can be implemented with confidence.
