Gravity Die Casting Workspace Highlights
- State-of-the-art die thermal management, dynamic cooling channels, spray cooling, and thermal cycling
- Ladle pour with dynamic ladle motion based on pouring cup fill condition
- Advanced flow solutions deliver accurate gas entrapment & gas porosity
Workspace Overview
The Gravity Die Casting Workspace is an intuitive modeling environment designed to help engineers successfully model gravity die casting applications with FLOW-3D CAST. Ladle motion, venting and backpressure are included in the fill analysis for an accurate prediction of air entrapment and porosity defects, while die thermal management and state-of-the-art solidification models seamlessly connect to the fill solution through the workspace’s sub-process architecture. The Gravity Die Casting Workspace provides a complete and accurate solution for all aspects of the simulation in a simple, versatile modeling environment.
