A practical cast designer and simulation software that enables the investigation of the cast parameters and eliminates the possible failures of the casting process during the design phase. It’s a reliable tool for product and casting tool designers for cost- and time-effective cast design and production. The core of the “upfront design & analysis technology” is to allow engineers to conduct fluid flow, heat transfer and solidification analysis by the assistance of combination of expert system and CAE technology.
Casting
Die Casting
CAST-DESIGNER for Die Casting is an expert package specifically designed for high pressure die casting with advanced gating system design and fast validation capability.
Cast-Designer is a quick casting design and analysis tool based on upfront design & analysis technology. The core of the “upfront design & analysis technology” is to allow engineers to conduct fluid flow, heat transfer and solidification analysis by the assistance of combination of expert system and CAE technology, it helps engineers to make a “Right” engineering decision in the early design stage of a project. Upfront design & analysis technology has already been becoming a very important role in main stream design process.
Gravity Casting
CAST-DESIGNER for Gravity Casting can make the casting system design and fast simulation for sand casting, gravity die casting, low pressure die casting, investment casting , lost foam casting and centrifugal casting etc.
The Casting system of Gravity Casting could be done in Cast-Designer with KBE support. The ‘Smart riser’, ‘Smart chill’ and ‘Free design’ provide full functions for the gravity casting system in the last AI technology.
- Focus on riser design, to avoid shrinkage porosity and keep thermal balance as well as material saving.
- Special ‘EMDI’ technology to define the best riser location.
- ‘Smart riser’ to design riser size automatically.
- Support riser database and customer database.
- Same approach for chill design. Special technology to generate complex conformal chills, it can save 90% CAD time.
- Riser design at first, then chill, then gating system.
- Free design approach for gating system, support any complex gating and runner.
- Cooling system design also.
Invesment Casting
Cast-Designer for investment casting is a quick casting design and analysis tool based on the upfront design & analysis technology.
The designer module can help the gate and man tree design to avoid the shrinkage porosity on the heavy region. The ‘smart gating system’ provides a main tree library with build in knowledge base to optimize the solidification process. The CPI simulation offers a very accurate method for design validation.
Welding
Cast-Designer Weld
The unique solution for complex large welding and assembly process, with full chain solution from the material →to process design →to simulation →to production and automatic optimization from welding parameters and assembly sequence.
Cast-Designer WELD is practice-oriented, fast and easy to use. The user can focus on the engineering related details of the welding process instead of dealing with the software operation.
Welding Calculator
The weldability also known as joinability of a material refers to its ability of welding. Many metals and thermoplastics can be welded, but some are easily welded than others. A material’s weldability is used to determine the welding process and to compare the final weld quality with other materials.
A build in calculator can help user to calculate many useful results, which can be used for weldability analysis.
The Welding Calculator supports the planning and optimization of welding tasks such as the calculation of weldability, cooling time, preheating temperature and the required filler metal quantities.
Stamping
AI-FORM
AI-FORM is the first AI base interactive multi-objective optimization commercial software in the market today directly applied to sheet metal forming. The software specially designed for the sheet metal forming business and having more than 20 years of industry experience, provides an end-to-end solution for stamping industry, ranging from 3D part DFM analysis, quotation, blank sheet engineering, step-by-step guidance in die face design, KBE, advanced FEM simulations and AI-based automatic optimization.
With the development of industrial, stamping products and production process becomes more and more complex. At the same time, CAD and CAE technology are also widely used in all industrial segments. The rapid development of computer system in hardware and software greatly reduces the simulation time, such as parallel computing technology. Therefore, seeking the best solution and improving design has become the next hot topic.
With the geometrically driven technology, multiple design alternatives can be automatically evaluated, which significantly shortens the product design cycle and significantly improves product quality and reliability.
