ProCAST
Software complex ProCAST can solve almost any technological problems associated with casting metal!
ProCAST allows to simulate any casting technology:
is any gravity casting (gravity die casting, CBC and CTS, investment casting, etc.);
-casting adjustable pressure casting, high pressure die casting low pressure die casting with backpressure,
casting vacuum suction, etc.);
-centrifugal casting;
-continuous casting;
-casting on gasified models.
Program ProCAST allows to determine:
-distribution of thermal fields in the casting and form;
-to assess the level of emerging stresses in the casting and metal snap
-allows to calculate cyclic loads (such as in injection molding).
ProCAST meets the challenges of production
Based on the proven technology of finite elements, ProCAST is a complete solution that covers a wide range of casting processes of metals and alloys.
Coverage of all production tasks for a wide range of casting processes.
Sand casting, gravity, inclined casting
Key success factors in the gravity casting associated with optimization of Gating system and with the exception of areas of possible shrinkage.
Casting, investment casting, casting shell mold
ProCAST is well adapted to solve the problem of casting. For example, ProCAST can automatically generate a grid reflecting shell shape, allows for an uneven thickness and layering.
This takes into account the heat radiation with shading effects, which are important for high temperature alloys. ProCAST provides a simulation of the mold filling, solidification and microstructure formation. The location of the risers and the use of insulating or exothermic supplies, their influence on shrinkage can be studied on a computer and visualized on the screen for optimal quality castings.
Gravity die casting under low pressure
To realistically reproduce industrial conditions could simulate cycles of the form to the state when the temperature conditions will be released in a stationary mode. The calculated temperature fields give the possibility to calculate filling of the mold and solidification of the casting.
The process parameters can be adjusted so that there is achieved an optimal quality of the process in the shortest time.
Gravity die casting high pressure
ProCAST allows to solve such specific objectives of the casting under high pressure as liquid forging and casting into semi-solid phase. The optimal velocity profile of the plunger, the design of the sprues and prelevement can be easily determined in the modeling process, even in thin-walled products. Thermomechanical cycles the mold can be calculated not only to increase its life cycle, but also to improve performance, thus reducing risks and costs.
Visual-Environment
Visual-Environment is an integrated Suite of pre - and post-processor that can operate simultaneously
or alone in the overall environment of other products ESI Group. Visual-Environment allows you to prepare the model to the calculation for both programs from ESI Groupe, and for CAE-CFD program from other manufacturers
Visual-Mesh is a complete meshing tool which supports CAD Import, 2D and 3D
Meshing and Editing features. Some of the features which work on ‘mesh only’ will be
available in Visual-Crash PAM context.
Visual-Crash PAM (VCP), which is one of the contexts in Visual-Environment,
provides PAM-CRASH users with fast iteration and rapid model revision process, from
data input to visualization for crashworthiness simulation and design. This environment
provides quick model browsing, advanced mesh editing capabilities and rapid graphical
assembly of system models. VCP allows graphical creation, modification and deletion
of contacts, materials, constraints, control cards and all crash entities. In VCP, you are
provided with tools for checking model quality and simulation parameters prior to
launching calculations with the Solver. Using these tools helps in correcting errors and
fine-tuning the model and simulation before submitting it to a solver, thus saving time
and resources.

Visual-Medysa guides PAM-MEDYSA 2G users in building system models for design
optimization and performance validation of complex mechanical systems. Mechanical
systems such as engine, tires, chassis, suspensions, and machinery transmissions, can be
modeled with ease in this environment.
High Velocity Impact (HVI) simulation is used to analyze the dynamic behavior of
materials under very high speed impacts. Visual-HVI supports PAM-SHOCK HVI
user in modeling such material data easily. This typically finds applications in
aerospace where we need to understand the damage suffered by a spacecraft when it
encounters space debris, such as micro-meteoroids.
Visual-Viewer is the new generation Post Processing tool with state-of-art Plotting
utility. This caters to the requirements of the CAE community. Visual-Viewer is built
on the multi page/multiplot environment, which enables the user to group his data into
pages and plots. Visual-Viewer is designed with intuitive and sleek user interface with
Windows look and feel. Complete session can be re-run without loss of any data.
