Casting Process Simulation
Metal casting is a manufacturing process where molten or semi-solid metal is poured into a mold and allowed to solidify to acquire shape of the mold. When the part is ejected from the mold, additional operations such as, de-gating, machining and polishing maybe required. The casting process is used to produce parts with complex shapes which would be difficult or uneconomical to produce by any other manufacturing process.
Metal casting simulation is a complex multiphysics phenomenon involving fluid flow, heat transfer between molten metal and the mold, mold and cooling fluid and fluid – structure interaction. Most casting simulation software packages will have the following modules
1. Introduction
It is estimated that 50-90% of structural failure is due to fatigue, thus there is a need for quality fatigue design tools. However,...
