Revolutionary Smart Design Tools

• Smart Cooling System: Automates the design of cooling channels for die casting. By defining basic parameters (alloy, production rate, cooling media), the system calculates optimal channel layouts, including conformal cooling designs like zigzag and spiral patterns. This can reduce design time by a factor of 10 to 30 .

• Smart Ejection System: A new tool that automatically designs and lays out ejector pins based on the casting's ejection force distribution, ensuring balanced and efficient ejection to minimize the risk of damaging the casting or die .

 Enhanced Simulation Power

• Gigantic Mesh Model Handling: The upgraded FastMesh engine can now create FEM mesh models with over 200 million elements, limited only by your computer's memory. It also supports batch meshing for enhanced productivity .

• Flexible 3D Mesh: A new method to generate high-quality tetrahedron meshes, even from imperfect STL surface geometries. Key features include parallel meshing, mesh-based Boolean operations, local mesh refinement, and automatic handling of small gaps and overlaps .

 Improved Design Quality & New Processes

• Higher Quality Runner Systems: Significant improvements in runner system CAD quality. New runner geometries feature higher continuity surfaces (G1/G2), making them suitable for direct machining from the CAD data. Two new generation modes offer flexibility between simple connections and smoother, curve-based transitions .

• Thixo-Moulding for Magnesium Alloy: Adds comprehensive design tools and a wizard-driven simulation interface specifically for the magnesium thixo-moulding process, supporting the emerging trend of large-scale castings (giga-casting) .

• Second-Generation Intelligent Runner System: The new "intelligent" runner system can now achieve a level of automation comparable to "Level 3" (Conditional Automation), capable of semi-autonomously creating high-quality runner systems by leveraging AI-like optimization
