Every casting process can be simulated with the software in order to design and assess the casting and tooling layouts, cycle times and casting quality.

Valves, Ductile Cast Iron, Residual Stress, Neutron Diffraction, MAGMASOFT® The measured residual stress results were found to compare favourably with the simulation predictions. The simulation was carried out using MAGMASOFT® and the residual stress results verified using neutron diffraction. SimLink® enables the Magmasoft ® user to import their individual riser portfolio via a direct connection between Magmasoft® and the GTP ToolBox.® From there, the risers can be positioned directly on the component.
Venter download PDFĪ study was undertaken to simulate the casting process, using simulation software, of a ductile iron casting (for use as a valve body) and in doing so to determine the order of residual stress and experimentally verify the simulation results. The gained temperature results can be used to validate self-written solidification solvers and check the accuracy of commercial solidification programs.Residual Stress Determination of Ductile Cast Iron by means of Neutron Diffraction F. The geometry of the models, the initial and boundary conditions as well as the material properties are kept as simple as possible but, nevertheless, close to a realistic solidification situation. The second model implements additional heat transfer boundary conditions at outer faces. For this model, an analytical solution for the overall temperature at steady state can be calculated. The first model is similar to an adiabatic calorimeter with an aluminum alloy solidifying in a copper block. The results are analyzed similar to a round-robin test procedure to obtain reference values for temperatures and their uncertainties at selected positions in the model. Surprisingly, the results show noticeable differences. This work presents two three-dimensional solidification models, which were solved by several commercial solvers (MAGMASOFT, FLOW-3D, ProCAST, WinCast, ANSYS, and OpenFOAM).
