General Casting Solution
FEAPro Engineering provide a general 2-D/3-D Finite Element program and a special Finite Difference program for predicting the manufacturability of ingot and cast parts.
-
Convective and conductive energy equations, and the Navier-Stokes equations are solved for the filling and solidification processes, allowing engineers to analyze design parameters from concept to production without being finite element experts.
-
A user-friendly, pre-processor with mesh generation and capability to read meshes from other mesh generation codes, permits the entering of material properties, process conditions and numerical control parameters interactively.
-
The interactive, dynamic post-processor displays interpreted color graphics of standard casting variables in contour, vector and x-y graph forms.
FEATURES
-
Coupled flow and energy equations.
-
Prediction of temperature distribution of the casting and mold at every time step.
-
Prediction of solid/liquid fractions.
-
Prediction of porosity/shrinkage.
-
Hot cracking prediction.
-
Convection/diffusion phase-change:
-
solid region
-
liquid region
-
