Optimization

What does Optimization Mean for Casting?

Find automatically the best conditions (design and/or process) to reach a defined goal (minimize shrinkage, improve yield, etc...) without having to make decisions after each simulation.

Design Optimization

Visual-OPT finds automatically the best design for:

• Riser locations & dimensions
• Chill locations
• Runner dimensions
• Ingate positions

Process Optimization

Visual-OPT finds automatically the best process parameters such as:

• Pouring temperature
• Pouring rate
• Die temperature

For such user-defined objectives as minimizing porosity, improving die-life, minimizing oxides, avoiding air entrapment in the shot chamber, etc...

Visual-OPT automates the costly, time-consuming trial and error process of design and manufacturing optimization.
