Simple 5-Step Workflow
Use templates to simulate casting processes, such as high and low pressure die casting, gravity sand, and investment casting. Create runner and gating system geometries to optimize the casting process, all within one comprehensive environment and user-friendly interface.
Design-Centric Features
Perform quick analyses based on geometry to check part manufacturability, including mold opening direction, thickness, filet radius, and porosity review.
Complete Casting Analysis
Analyze every stage of the casting process with Inspire Cast’s low/no code finite element-based analysis, enabling accurate prediction of defects and process optimization across cycling, filling, cooling, solidification, warpage, and trimming.
Validate Full Casting Designs
Simulate and validate complete casting designs, including cavities, runners, and overflows, as well as critical casting components such as shot sleeves, chillers, risers, sleeves, filters, and more, ensuring a comprehensive and optimized casting process. Run structural simulations within the tool using data from casting simulations.
Fast, Accurate Computation
Utilize parallel processing to significantly reduce calculation time on a standard workstation. Inspire Cast supports MPI-based computing in clusters, enabling even faster simulations by leveraging distributed processing across multiple nodes.
AI-ready with Historical Casting Simulation Data
Train machine learning models with historical, geometry-centric Inspire Cast simulations for instant AI insights.
Connect to Structural Solvers
Automatically transfer thermomechanical results, such as residual stresses, from casting simulations to structural solvers. Ensure accurate initialization of stress fields for structural analysis through a fully automated workflow.
Built-in Design of Experiments (DoE)
Define key variables such as geometric parameters or boundary conditions and automatically run multiple simulation scenarios. Explore design options systematically to identify the optimal performance, quality, and robustness of the casting process.
Python APIs
Leverage full control over simulation setup and execution through scripting. Use the API to launch thermal simulations,. automate workflows, integrate seamlessly with external platforms, and drive advanced design optimization.
