Solid® - OpenSolid® : Casting simulation software
Solid®-OpenSolid® are 2 numerical simulation software dedicated to the casting process. Solid® is used for continuous casting as well for ingot casting, with a 2D modeling approach. OpenSolid® proposes an indeep analyzis thanks to a powerful 3D Model.
Solid®-OpenSolid® perform an analysis of thermo-metalurgic behaviour of the material during the process.
Solid®-OpenSolid® : indeep and coupled analysis of key parameters :
-
heat
-
flow mechanics
-
chemical composition
during the solidification process for continuous casting/ingot casting.
Solid®-OpenSolid® allow to take into account the thermo-metalurgic phenomena occuring during the cooling and solidification of the ingot.
Results analysis
Solid®-OpenSolid® provide the main results which are key data for the process optimization :
-
temperature
-
solidification time
-
material composition
-
grains radius
-
supercooling
-
segregation
-
DAS
-
shrinkage
-
equiaxed computation
-
columnar equiaxed computation
-
