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
- mushy region
- Interface with thermal stress analysis programs for:
- elastic strains
- thermal strains
- Interface with stress analysis for structural integrity of parts under external static and dynamic loads.
- Materials database - metals, cores, risers and sand types.
- Provides mesh generator, a 3-D CAD interface module, and accepts meshes from other mesh generators.
- Runs on most UNIX workstations and supercomputers.
