Continuous Casting
ProCAST provides a complete solution for continuous and semi-continuous casting process simulation. The software can simulate steady-state conditions as well as the initial and final stages of continuous casting processes.
An application of the MiLE algorithm applied for Direct Chill casting (DC) of an Al alloy is shown (inlet design, fluid flow, thermal field, effective stress and deformation). An application of a steady-state calculation for a curved continuous casting is also shown. The first picture is colored by the temperature field while the second one shows the fraction of solid field.
The Inverse Module enables the automatic calculation of material or process parameters based on measured temperatures at given locations or times. Primary and secondary cooling can be determined by inverse modeling.
ProCAST also offers a unique capability: the User functions which allow more advanced end users to program their specific process requirements. For example User functions allow you to define boundary conditions as time, temperature and space-dependent in order to accurately model any specific casting process.
