Magmasoft magma5
Comprehensive process description for all casting processes, with direct access to all process steps and the related simulation definitions via the process perspective.Automatic enmeshment of the geometry within seconds.Solid modeling with a CAD kernel as well as import and export of CAD data (STL, STEP, CATIA, Pro/E).Taken together, the process orientation of MAGMA 5 sets the basis for a profitable manufacture of cast components – through optimized casting layouts and processing conditions, preventative quality assurance, and cost effectiveness. The user always has a complete overview of the entire manufacturing process he wants to simulate. This also includes information regarding the removal of the casting rigging, heat treatment or finishing of the cast component. In the process perspective, all information about the used materials, metallurgy and melting practice, production conditions and finishing processes come together. The complete production process from casting design, gating and risering or die layout, through to casting and finishing processes such as heat treatment, can be described and simulated. Following the manufacturing process, the user is automatically guided through the program. In MAGMA 5, all of the necessary steps for casting process simulation can be specified from a process perspective. Integrated information and tools for simulation projects New interfaces in the module MAGMAlink provide further options for data exchange with other casting analysis software. The new module MAGMAdielife supports the evaluation of the effects of die design and thermal stresses on tooling durability in permanent molds. The simulated distortion can now be evaluated similar to a coordinate measuring machine and compared directly with real measurements. The assessment of predicted casting distortion is made easier using new result evaluation and visualization tools in the result perspective. Newest contact algorithms allow the analysis of the casting cracking problems and distortion also during cooling in the die. A comprehensive plasticity model provides improved accuracy, as it considers both temperature-dependent as well as time-dependent effects on stresses and distortion. The module MAGMAstress has been completely reworked and for the first time offers the option to simulate thermally induced casting stresses in permanent molds for all manufacturing steps. Moreover, a new module for the simulation of as-cast local microstructures and properties of aluminum alloy castings in sand and permanent molds is available with MAGMAnonferrous. New capabilities for the prediction of microporosity complement the existing feeding prediction during solidification.
