Aluminum Casting Simulation Software
(OP)
hello there.
Does anybody know of resources on casting simulation on the web? I am interested in aluminum castings simulators, but I don't know where to find references/articles about programs that are available out there.

I believe that it has been used quite successfully to model aluminum casting processes.

The insulation effect of the die coating is very difficult to evaluate as it is dependent on many factors, such as coating chemistry, application procedure, die geometry, temperature, etc. It is therefore very difficult to set up a database for general use in the casting software. The technique currently used, I think, is to experimentally determine the interfacial heat tranfer coeff. for individual cases, and implement these into the code. Some coating manufacturers also supply these heat transfer data, but use with care.
