Five software users discuss how the simulation of cast components can improve molding design, reduce defects, improve quality and increase profitability.
As part of an AFS Engineering Process Design and Modeling Committee (1-F) panel presentation at the 1999 Casting Congress, five users of casting simulation programs were asked to share information on how they use software to improve metalcasting processes and casting designs.
In this article, five individuals detail how simulation software allowed them to improve a casting's design. Through their practical experiences, foundrymen can see how simulation is being used to improve casting quality and impact ...
