Dear Rupert Soar

A simulation software which I know have been used with a high rate of success for
simulation of the mold filling sequence of pressure die casting is MAGMAsoft from the German software company MAGMA. More information about the company can be found at http://www.magmasoft.com/
This software is able to calculate temperature distribution and defects created during mold filling and solidification of the metal.

This software is quite expensive (100.000 DM), but you should be able to find the software
at some universities and get simulations done there.

Kind regards

Emne: Simulation Software for Molten Metal Flow

>Hello World,

>Can anyone out there point me in the direction of some descent software

>molten aluminium (LM24) through a laminated H13 pressure die-cast die
>(cold chamber set up). We have conducted extensive physical tests with
>laminated dies on our own Frech 125, but would like to see if we can
>model the flow of molten aluminium through a laminated die and observe
>any deflection /resonance that may occur in individual laminate
>features. Each time we look into this we normally end up abandoning our

>rapidly cooling body of aluminium as it moves through a die gets
>interesting. Other limitations include a low budget and if there is
>software out there, will it run on a P5/200.
