Cast-Designer 7.10: Comprehensive Casting Simulation & Design Software
Cast-Designer 7.10 is C3P Software’s latest full-chain engineering solution for the casting industry, released in July 2025 . It introduces smart cooling/ejection automation, magnesium thixo-moulding simulation, enhanced CAD quality for gating systems, and improved large-scale mesh handling .
Key New Features in Version 7.10
Smart Cooling & Ejection (New Modules)
-
Smart Cooling: Automates cooling channel design with conformal cooling support (zigzag, spiral, inserts); reduces design time by 10-30x; generates STEP/CSV/CATIA macro exports
-
Smart Ejection: Automatically designs ejector pins based on casting ejection force distribution for balanced ejection performance
Magnesium Thixo-Moulding Module
-
Design & Simulation: Wizard-driven interface for magnesium alloy semi-solid injection molding; developed with leading machine providers and industrially validated
CAD & Gating System Enhancements
-
Second-Generation Intelligent Runner System: AI-assisted design achieving L2–L3 autonomous levels for high-quality runner geometry
-
High-Quality Surface Output: New Gordon surface generation with G2 (high-order derivative) continuity; designed runners ready for direct machining
-
Two Generation Modes: Surface-through (direct截面连接) or path-based (curved引导线) depending on cross-section size differences
Casting Inspection & Tie-Bar Analysis (New)
-
Tie-Bar Force Analysis: Projects area into four quadrants, calculates force per tie-bar, and ensures
(Fmax - Fmin)/F_avg < 0.1for machine selection -
Projected Area Calculation: Automatic display of product/runner/biscuit area contributions per quadrant
Mesh & Solver Upgrades
-
FastMesh Upgrade: Supports up to 200 million FEM elements; batch meshing for multiple files
-
Flexible 3D Mesh: Parallel meshing, mesh-based Boolean, local refinement, and automatic gap/overlay handling for imperfect STL files
