Course Outline:

Altair Inspire Cast basic course helps the user to understand the concept of the tool and get the know-How to take profit from simulation tools for metal casting. In the first stage, and after a guide through the interface options, it will be focus on the most common process in the casting industry such as HPDC, Investment Casting and Gravity Casting.

Prerequisites:

Knowledge of Casting processes and Simulation

Goals and Objectives:

• Understand how to incorporate Altair Inspire Cast into traditional design processes to efficiently perform a mold filling simulation, evaluate design concepts, optimize designs.
• Indicate runners, risers, overflows, coolers and other components according to design preferences.
• Analyze results regarding basic casting process, gravity casting, high pressure and low pressure die casting, gravity tilt pouring and investment casting to discover the process feasibility.
• Understand how to avoid typical casting defects.
• Analyze typical results during filling and solidification stages, such as porosity, shrinkage volume, air trap and many others
