Developers and designers searching for a tool to simulate the complete casting process for defect-free parts of products in production
About ProCAST
Your first off-tool parts are finally available, only for you to realize they contain pinholes, shrinkage, or hot spots. With your deadline staring you in the face, you can either ship the parts and undoubtedly deal with an unhappy customer or go back to the design stage and try to identify the problem, correct it, and hope it is finally free from defects. And because the trial period in the casting development schedule is underestimated, it is imperative to get your gating design to be robust against process variations before arriving at the testing phase. With ESI ProCAST you can cast your parts right the first time, every time –meeting your deadlines and never wasting money on scrap parts or late redesigns. For decades, customers have relied upon ProCAST as their go-to tool for the casting basics – filling, solidification, and porosity prediction. With its finite element technology, it also predicts complex issues like deformations and residual stresses.

Ansys Motor-CAD
Ansys Motor-CAD is a dedicated electric machine design tool for fast multiphysics simulation across the full torque-speed operating range. Motor-CAD enables design engineers to evaluate motor topologies and concepts across the full operating range, to produce designs that are optimized for performance, efficiency and size. Motor-CAD software’s four integrated modules—EMag, Therm, Lab, Mech—enable multiphysics calculations to be performed quickly and iteratively, so users can get from concept to final design in less time. Fast calculations and streamlined data input processes leave time for Motor-CAD users to explore more motor topologies and fully assess the impact of advanced loss effects in the initial stages of an electromechanical design. The release includes powerful new features for design optimization, multi-physics analysis and system modelling for electric motors. Fast multiphysics simulation across a full torque-speed operating range.

THERCAST
The software makes it possible to quickly and accurately analyze your manufacturing process, from the initial casting to the end of solidification. Thus, you anticipate manufacturing defects allowing you to produce high-quality components and reduce the prototyping phase. In extremely competitive and ever-changing markets, simulation is now an essential step in the development cycle of high-value cast parts. THERCAST® offers a complete and modular solution which will be able to provide you with valuable support for the production of ingots, castings or even continuous casting. THERCAST® integrates liquid/solid thermomechanical coupling involved in material transformation. With this implementation, you can study all types of phenomena: ladle and tundish flow, primary and secondary cooling, deformation in contact with rollers and spray-induced cooling. THERCAST® offers a multilingual graphical interface and a business-oriented work environment.

SoftCAST
SoftCAST™ is a multi-award-winning metal-casting-simulation software package for foundries and investment-casting facilities. SoftCAST™ allows engineers to simulate the behavior of the casting process during manufacture, which is often used to predict, in a virtual world, potential casting defects and quality issues within the cast part. The design modules in SoftCAST™ facilitate the easy development of both new products and new processes, and it provides options for the optimization of existing products and processes. The SoftCAST™ program is suitable for mass production, batch production, and jobbing lines. It has the capability to simulate a variety of casting complexities, including single- and multi-cavity mold designs, low to very high-weight castings, and cast sections whose thickness has no limit. The major differentiator between SoftCAST™ and our competitors’ products is that not only is SoftCAST™ a simulation program but it also has its own method design modules.
