Casting Process Insight (CPI) is a powerful tool integrated in
Cast-Designer to provide the detail metal flow information
during casting process based on the last CAE technology.
CPI is special designed for the conceptual stage for casting
part and mould, it is much more modest in its capabilities
than tradition numerical simulation, but can provide some of
the same insights.
With Cast-Designer CPI, the user can detect part features
with potential solidification problems, evaluate gate system
and overflow design alternatives, and generally evaluate
castability. The user does not have to be an expert in
simulation to use CPI and the time required for evaluating a
die casting design is remarkably quick. In other word, CPI
can be used by any die caster, tool maker, or part designer
with access to a computer.
Cast-Designer CPI provides a detail filling insight of the casting process, such as fluid factor, both contourand vector of velocity and pressure as well as the filling time.
01-Concept 02-Design
03-Express Validation
The beauty of CPI is the full couple with the design function ofCast-Designer and quickness to obtain the analysis results atthe conceptual design stage. There may be many alternative
designs, a quick tool is important to run all designs and remove thepoor designs. Thus at this stage, the level of accuracy is notnecessarily very high and the traditional numerical simulation is notapplicable.
Best in class
CPI is the sole really practical tool on the marketing today to support designerand engineer to make fast decision for casting part and mould design.
Analysis the filling process and predict fill pattern
Provide an accurate, flexible, no limitation method for gating systemevaluation in express way. Detail information to help user select the ‘right’design.
Analysis the part thickness to guide the mould and cooling channel designand placement.
Innovation technology with high accuracy and no limitation compared withtradition method.
Provide really virtual result in less than one hour start from CAD part.
Integrated CAD, design and analysis in a same environment, setup ananalysis model in a few minuets and a few clicks;
No requirement for any CAE knowledge, very short learning curve.

CasesInfo.
It is well known the traditional numerical
simulation is not applicable or very expensive
for the concept stage
The data to run a numerical simulation is
usually not available yet, for example
runner geometry
Due to the complexity of the equation
system to be solved, numerical simulation
is too time consuming, usually hours or
even days
Numerical simulation provides a relatively
high level accuracy, which is more than
needed at conceptual design stage.
With the combination of software development, advanced analysis, extensive product developmentexperience and cost effective local human resources,
provide industry and manufacturing business with comprehensive solutions and engineeringservices on a global basis to meet their expectation in high quality, on-schedule delivery within costtarget.
