WHY CHOOSE WORKPLAN
MODULES AT A GLANCE:
Castle Key
Applied Intelligence for Casting
- Guided sizing of the gating system (from draft to simulation)
- PQ² for mold/machine compatibility and piston diameter selection
- Optimized machine parameters (stroke, speed, pressure) ready for production
- Ideal inputs for more reliable and faster FEM simulations
Castle Mind
Practical Advice, Immediate Results
For mold makers:
- Optimized gating sections for part type/quality, material, and machine
- Mold/machine compatibility with PQ²
- Automatically generated machine parameters for fast setup
For foundries:
- Optimal parameters for 1st, 2nd, 3rd phase, multiplication pressures, casting/mold temperatures
- Faster setup, fewer corrective actions, less scrap
- Longer mold life (reduced wear/metallization)
Castle Body
Next-Generation Multiphase Simulation
- Native CAD import and automatic adaptive 3D meshing
- Multiprocessor and cloud calculation included, for more comparisons in less time
- Advanced outputs: macro/micro air entrapment, virtual X-rays, cold front, oxides
- Free viewer to share results with teams and clients
- Specifico per leghe (Alluminio, Zinco, Magnesio, Rame)
- Simulates metal + air together (incompressible liquid + compressible gas) for realistic representation of vacuum, air entrapment, and metal atomization
Castle Run
Validates and optimizes gating system geometries in minutes, without simulating the entire casting right away
- Real-time thickness and fillet analysis with instant modifications
- Speed and pressure mapping: identifies turbulence, air entrapment, friction losses
- Verification attacco di colata (sezione realmente lavorante, angolo d’ingresso, bilanciamento tra attacchi)
- Compact, efficient channels tolerant to process variables
