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.
