CD-adapco STAR-Cast v11.02 casting simulation software

CD-adapco, a provider of multidisciplinary engineering simulation and design exploration software, has announced STAR-Cast v11.02, the casting simulation add-on for STAR-CCM+. STAR-Cast features a high-pressure die-casting module, providing casting engineers with a user-friendly tool for designing strong, light and high-quality casted parts.

The casting simulation software integrates CAE technology with the detailed models required for casting, enabling accurate simulation of interactions between molten metal and air. By resolving all the physics at once, engineers can get a better understanding of the complete high-pressure die-casting process and discover better designs.

The software also incorporates enhancements that streamline simulation workflow and increase productivity for casting simulations in general, including: improvement of user experience, streamlining the set-up of all casting processes; reduced turnaround time of casting simulations with a compressibility feature and smarter determination of the number of inner iterations required per time step; and easier material handling and manipulation, including a material database builder for integration of proprietary materials into the customer’s material database.
