Workspace Highlights
- Extraordinary fill accuracy
- Full process modeling includes advanced venting, PQ2, and spray cooling
- Dynamic simulation control allows dynamic runtime process control
- State-of-the-art aluminum silicon alloy solidification
The High Pressure Die Casting Workspace is an intuitive modeling environment designed to help engineers successfully model high pressure die casting applications with FLOW-3D CAST. Full control of shot sleeve motion, combined with advanced die thermal control, machine parameter modeling, and accurate resolution of fill and backpressure conditions make FLOW-3D CAST v5.1 the reference solution for the most demanding HPDC simulation needs. In addition to advanced porosity prediction and post-processing functionalities, the HPDC Workspace includes a state-of-the-art chemistry-based solidification and material strength model for Al-Si and Al-Cu based alloys.
