Die casting simulation software assists in knowing the performance of the material fluid inside the mold cavity. This method of using simulation software allows for conducting a thorough thermo-fluid dynamic analysis of the mold. The usage of simulation software in mold analysis is commonly known as CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). Using high-pressure die casting simulation allows for altering of the numerous variable parameters like the mold temperature and injection curves.
Employing this simulation process can have a significant impact in the overall reduction of time for the machine settings in the start-up phase of the product. This will provide further savings in the time and resources involved in the process. In addition to that, the technology of die casting simulation enables the altering of both the start-up phase and continuing process performances, which enables cost reduction and process enhancement. The simulation software is highly useful in both the planning and mass product phase of the process.
Simply stated the primary aim of die casting simulation software is to avoid wastages in material and time by the implementing of accurate numerical analysis. Some of the ways in which die casting simulation enables cost reduction is discussed below.
Evading the Creation of Non-Compliant Products
The latest simulation technologies allow for the identification of the casted product and its non-compliance for various defects. The simulation lets the manufacturer avoid many defects in the hot chamber by early identifying the right equilibrium between speed, temperature, overflow geometry, and runner. The usage of the simulation software can aid in forecasting many of the issues that commonly happens during the production, which enables in avoiding any undesirable results.
Avoiding Empirical Tests
In addition to the valuable cost savings during the production process, utilizing simulation software allows in cutting the costs and the sampling phase. This is possible due to the possibilities offered for working with different variables prior to production.
As the simulation software tackles a wide range of subjects than traditional processes, it will facilitate direct saving measures by allowing working on newer variables. This enables the companies to meet the customer’s expectations as well as broadening the knowledge of the process.
Preventing Material Wastage
In avoiding material wastes, many of the aspects of foundry yield are taken into account. The process of injection molding uses more raw materials than the quantity uses in the making of the final product. This optimization of the scrap material and material comprising the product provides economic savings as well as reduction of runner and overflow dimensions.
