Flow & Filling Simulation
Visualize Molten Metal Flow Before Production Begins
Simulate the complete mold filling process to optimize metal flow, eliminate casting defects, and achieve better quality with confidence.
What is Flow & Filling Simulation?
The Flow & Filling Simulation Module is one of the core components of the PoligonSoft platform, designed to accurately simulate how molten metal flows through the gating system and fills the mold cavity. By recreating the filling process in a virtual environment, engineers can identify potential issues before production, reducing costly trial runs and improving casting quality.
Using advanced numerical methods, the module analyzes metal velocity, temperature distribution, turbulence, filling sequence, and air entrapment, enabling manufacturers to optimize mold designs and process parameters before the first casting is produced.
Why Flow & Filling Simulation?
The mold filling stage has a significant impact on the final quality of a casting. Improper filling can result in defects such as air entrapment, cold shuts, misruns, turbulence, and oxide formation, leading to scrap, rework, and production delays.
Flow & Filling Simulation enables engineers to visualize these conditions before production, allowing them to evaluate different gating designs, pouring conditions, and process parameters. This proactive approach helps manufacturers make informed engineering decisions, reduce development time, and consistently produce high-quality castings.
Key Features
The Flow & Filling Simulation Module provides engineers with a detailed understanding of molten metal behavior throughout the filling process. It accurately predicts how the metal enters the mold, how it flows through complex geometries, and how different process conditions influence the quality of the final casting.
