Mesh Creation Using Hypermesh for Casting Simulation

Abstract:

Casting is a manufacturing process by which a liquid material is usually poured into a mold, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. The solidified part is also known as a casting, which is ejected or broken out of the mold to complete the process. Casting materials are usually metals or various cold setting materials that cure after mixing two or more components together; examples are epoxy, concrete, plaster and clay. Casting is most often used for making complex shapes that would be otherwise difficult or uneconomical to make by other methods.Due to the fact that several parts are designed with the involve of FEA we have more complex parts. Industries have to manufacture the complex parts and be in the limits of failure, for better analysis FEA are using also in the manufacturing process by simulate the casting of the complex parts.
