Over the course of this series of articles, we show how the use of fast numerical algorithms is revolutionizing the planning of casting processes. Today we will take a closer look at the geometric part optimization workflow.

In the latest installment of our feature series, we explain how the incredibly high computational speed of the modulus analysis helps to enable a completely new type of integrated workflow that is so far unique in the world of foundry software.

Last week we attended the Austrian Foundry Conference (Österreichische Gießereitagung), which was held in Schladming under the motto "Accepting challenges and being prepared for the future".

We have been asked on social media about the utility of fast modulus computation, when conventional thermal analysis can also be done in a relatively short time today. So we decided to demonstrate the difference between "quite quickly" and "real fast" for you.

The Heuvers Circle Method is one of the first published techniques for controlling solidification and evaluating the castability of a component. It is so easy to use that it is still frequently applied today despite all the advanced technical possibilities.

The solidification modulus establishes a relationship between the volume-surface ratio of a simple casting and its solidification time. The idea goes back to a famous article by Nicolas Chvorinov, whose birthday we want to commemorate today.

Designing a feeding system using physical solidification simulation can be very time-consuming. On the other hand, every foundryman is familiar with the use of what is known as the solidification modulus. But what exactly does it stand for and how does it work?
by Steven Hornberg
In addition to the many inspiring presentations, the event offered space for exhibitions, personal exchange and change of perspective, taking into account all pandemic-related safety precautions.

The International Foundry Trade Fair with Technical Forum in Düsseldorf took place for the 14th time between the 25th and 29th of June 2019. The event was a great opportunity for Visiometa to introduce our brand new software to the foundry market.
