MAGMASOFT(tm) is a comprehensive tool for simulation of foundry practices. 3-D fluids flow and solidification simulations are combined to provide a complete model for all casting processes. A control volume formulation is used for solutions to Navier-Stokes and Fourier equations. Non-uniform control volume meches are generated automatically from solid models created in the built-in-solid modeler or from models tranferred from outside CAD packages. IGES, stereolithography, and finite element mesh geometry transfers are supported. Included within the software is a database where all material properties necessary for the simulation (density, thermal, conductivity, heat capacity, latent heat, vicosity) are stored. The database is open allowing the user to modify existing material properties and add a new set of properties for new alloys an molding media.
