Sand Casting

SOLIDCast easily simulates the sand casting process. You can create molds automatically. Chills or sleeves? No problem. Combined thermal and volumetric calculations improve simulation accuracy. You can even predict the expansion phase in gray and ductile irons.

Investment Casting

SOLIDCast easily simulates the investment casting process. You can create shells, insulating wraps, sand beds and ceramic cores. Automatic radiation view factor analysis fine tunes heat loss from the shell and maximizes simulation accuracy.

Permanent Mold Casting

SOLIDCast makes simulating the permanent mold process simple and efficient. Die heat-up is handled quickly and automatically. Insulating sprays and air gap formation are taken care of. Tilt-pouring realistically transfers metal from the pouring cup to the die as the die rotates.
