AnyCasting v6.9.4: Virtual Prototyping for Casting Excellence
AnyCasting v6.9.4 is a powerful casting process simulation software used by foundries and product designers to predict and eliminate defects before making the first physical mold. It enables the virtual analysis of molten metal flow, heat transfer, and solidification to optimize part design, gating systems, and process parameters for a wide range of casting methods.
Core Function: Simulate Before You Pour
Its primary role is to create a digital twin of the casting process, allowing engineers to visualize how liquid metal fills the mold cavity and solidifies, identifying potential issues like air entrapment, shrinkage porosity, cold shuts, and misruns.
Key Functions:
-
Filling & Solidification Simulation: Visually tracks the flow of molten metal through gating systems and its subsequent cooling and solidification within the mold.
-
Defect Prediction & Analysis: Automatically identifies and highlights areas prone to shrinkage porosity, air/gas pockets, and cold shuts based on thermal and flow data.
-
Process Optimization: Enables virtual testing of different gating designs, riser placements, chilling methods, and pouring temperatures to achieve sound castings and improve yield.
-
Comprehensive Material Library: Includes extensive databases of alloy properties (thermal, physical) and mold materials for accurate simulation results.
