Flow3d 9.3 License crack

This new release offers many new solutions for multiphysics simulation needs and advances ease of use and the user’s ability to secure powerful and eye-catching results. The following summary highlights the key new benefits offered in Version 9.3
The unstructured memory allocation technique introduced in FLOW-3D Version 9.2 is a major benefit for users because of its drastic reduction to solver memory and CPU time requirements. However, when the full fluid/solid heat transfer model is needed, the memory savings were effectively lost because all computational cells were required to be “active.” In Version 9.3, a user can define a maximum thermal penetration depthto limit the thermal solution to the volume along the component’s open surface bounded by this depth. Everything outside of this volume is removed from the calculation, resulting in much faster simulations.

Casting users should benefit greatly from this feature. For example, during a die casting filling, heat penetrates the die by only several millimeters and, therefore, solving heat transfer throughout the entire die is unnecessary. If the user defines the thermally-active layer thickness to be, for example, 5 mm, only cells within that layer are retained in the calculation, potentially reducing the total number of cells in the model several fold.

Navigator and Workspaces

A new Navigator feature in the FLOW-3D graphical user interface allows users to manage several simulations within the same FLOW-3D session, including building models, running the solver and post-processing results. New Workspaces, containing groups of simulations that may be related to the same project,help the user better organize their work. All simulations in a workspace can be executed sequentially at a click of a button. Simultaneous execution of several simulations is also possible. Multiple Workspaces can be created within a single GUI session.

Runtime changes to solver parameters

It’s not uncommon for users to want to make changes to the numerical settings of a simulation to make it run more accurately and efficiently.

There can be more than one reason to change settings, e.g., poor convergence, a small time-step size, a mentor tip, or just an omission in the model setup. A new Runtime Options tool in Version 9.3 is designed to help in such situations, allowing the user to change most of the numerical options during the simulation without the need to stop or even pause it.



New Modeling Capabilities
Elastic membranes and walls
Version 9.3 enables users to model fluid-structure interaction with elastic membranes and elastically-flexing walls. The model simulates the manner in which the small deformations of these types of membranes and walls impact the motion of the adjacent fluid, as well as showing how pressures in the fluid affects the deformations. These fluid-structure interactions are fully coupled.

The model is more fully described in Flow Science

ESI.PROCAST.V2007

We are proud to announce, only six months after the previous release, a new release of ProCAST 2007, the leading finite element software package for foundry simulation.

This new version brings additional new features in meshing, processing capabilities, viewing and numerous improvements in product performance.
The ProCAST solutions include automatic mesh generation, thermal analysis with radiation effects, flow analysis for mould filing, fully coupled thermal, flow and stress analysis and advanced metallurgical options.

The following main improvements deserve to be highlighted (for more information, please contact your ESI Group’s representative).

SOLVERS

True 64 bits executables for ProCAST solvers are now available on Windows for both scalar and DMP versions (64 bits executables are available on Linux, as before).

ASSEMBLY


The assembly algorithm was improved in order to be more automatic and powerful.

FADING

Nodular cast iron (SGI) is obtained by a Mg treatment of the melt. The graphite formation tends to diminish as the interval between the treatment and the solidification increases (fading effect). As a consequence, the expansion effect will be reduced as graphite formation is decreasing. This will of course have an effect on the amount of porosity. ProCAST 2007 integrates the modeling of graphite fading in SGI and therefore allows better porosity modeling.

One illustration of this new model is presented above for two extreme cases: on the left the FADING value is one while on the right the FADING value is zero. It is seen that in this latter case the porosity is decreased to zero.

PARALLEL PROCESSING

Continuous efforts are being devoted to improve the scalability, repeatability and availability on various platforms of the ProCAST DMP solver. The following improvements have been made in ProCAST 2007:

The Microstructure module is now available in the DMP solver,
The Freckle calculation is now available in the DMP solver,
The Core blowing option is now available in the DMP,
Improved performance of the stress parallel solver,
Improvements in lost foam modeling and interpenetrating mesh option.

CORE BLOWING

ProCAST allows now improved modeling of the core blowing process. When modeling the sand injection process, the air and sand are modeled as a homogeneous fluid in which the air-sand mixture is treated as a single phase. Thus, the process is considered as a filling with ad-hoc material properties and boundary conditions.

FLUID FRONT TRACKING

The "Fluid Front Tracking indicator" is based on an algorithm which is calculating in the solver the tracking of the free surface front. This allows identifying the locations where oxides and impurities trapped at the free surface are most likely to end-up as

The market for these products is primarily among iron foundries and pressure die foundries in the whole world.

NovaCast has also developed and patented advanced programs for serial production of compacted graphite iron (CGI), which are marketed as PQ-CGI (Prime Quality Compacted Graphite Iron). The market consists of foundries specialized in casting components to the automotive industry, e.g. engine blocks, cylinder liners, etc. Most of the larger manufacturers of diesel engines have been evaluating the material for a number of years and the market will expand considerably in the coming years.

Flow-3D v9.1(c) Flow Science Inc

Additions to Two-fluid Phase Change model. The two-fluid (liquid and compressible gas) evaporation/condensation model has been extended to allow condensation in pure gas and evaporation in pure liquid for both sharp and diffuse interface cases, and to enable preferential vapor nucleation (boiling) at walls.
Two-fluid Interface Slip model . When the two-fluid, sharp interface model is used, and the ratio of the densities of the two fluids is large (fluid #1 is heavier than fluid #2, like water and air), then velocities of the fluids at the interface can differ significantly. The newly-added interface slip model takes this into account improving accuracy and stability of the flow solution.

New Cavitation Potential model. This new model is designed to predict die erosion due to cavitation during filling in high pressure die casting. Metal pressure can drop several atmospheres below the metal vapor pressure in areas of very fast flow, possibly causing cavitation and erosion.

Surface Tension model enhancement. The accuracy of free surface curvature evaluation has been improved by including more fluid cells in the calculation. Additional improvements in free surface normal evaluation result in reduced noise in surface tension pressure. These enhancements, combined with the Split Lagrangian VOF method, improve the accuracy of the surface tension model in general.

Heat transfer solver improvement. The speed of the implicit solver for the heat transfer model has been increased by up to a factor of two. Convergence has also been improved. The explicit solver for the thermal conduction in fluids has also been optimized for speed.

ESI-Procast-v2006

Three main improvements have been made for the new version. ProCAST 2006 can now predict porosity by taking into account the phenomenon of graphite expansion in nodular cast iron. In this specific material, the formation of graphite nodules during solidification leads to a volume expansion. The capacity of ProCAST 2006 to couple local microstructure calculations with porosity predictions is a real benefit for the cast iron industry.
Secondly, with the delivery of ProCAST 2006, important progress has been made – the meshing time for models that previously took hours to mesh now only takes minutes with the new version. This improvement is also due to the use of Geomesh, the ESI Group tool for geometry analysis and repair, whose interface allows the use of major industrial native CAD file formats.

Finally, parallel processing of mould filling and solidification had already been included in the previous ProCAST release. With this new ProCAST 2006 version, the stress module is fully parallelised, allowing the complete casting process to be simulated in hours.

Casting process simulation is now widely accepted as an important tool in product design and process development to improve casting yield and quality. ESI Group’s casting portfolio includes ProCAST, the market-leading finite element solution for casting process simulation; CALCOSOFT, for fast and efficient modeling of continuous casting processes; and PAM-QUIKCAST, the finite difference solution for casting process evaluation. ProCAST 2005 has received the European Technology Leadership of the Year Award from Frost & Sullivan.

MAGMAsteel
The MAGMAsteel module provides extended capabilities to support the entire manufacturing route for steel castings, from layout through heat treatment, production planning and methoding.
MAGMAlpdc
MAGMAlpdc is designed to perform a comprehensive process simulation for the low-pressure die casting process. MAGMAlpdc takes into account all process factors which affect the heat and fluid flow and casting quality.
MAGMAlpdc can provide information about the following: • The die filling based on furnace pressure • The feeding conditions in the casting during solidification taking into account the applied pressure and resultant metallostatic pressure and gravity • The effect of individual cooling or heating channels as well as their control • The effect of die spraying or coatings • The influence of cores or inserts • The effect of the sequence of die opening and closing through the individual control of each die section
Convection and Segregation MAGMAsteel uses the latest models to calculate the velocities and pressures of the metal, in both the liquid melt and mushy zone, due to thermal and solutal natural convection. The effects of this flow on the thermal map in the solidifying casting are taken into account. The calculated velocities are also coupled with an advanced microsegregation model for the dendritic scale, to track the redistribution of the elements in the alloy and predict macrosegregation.
Heat Treatment MAGMAsteel calculates heat transfer during the heat treatment process based on the changing conditions during austenitization, quenching and tempering. The analysis provides a prediction of the local microstructures and mechanical properties throughout the casting.
MAGMAhpdc
MAGMAhpdc provides a comprehensive simulation of the High-Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) process using detailed process and boundary conditions.
In MAGMAhdc all important parameters influencing heat flow and the die thermal balance of the die can be considered, such as : • Ejection time • Die opening sequence • Delay time (simulating effect of cycle interruptions on the thermal balance)• Die closing sequence• Less time until the beginning of the next cycle• Individual control of each cooling or tempering channel • Definition of die spraying procedure• Venting and vacuum• Local squeezing definition
MAGMAhpdc also supports the setup of shot sequence by a comprehensive shot calculator module, considering the casting demands and the die casting machine capabilities. The shot calculator provides information for the simulation setup of the recommended first and second phase shot profile.
MAGMAwheel
MAGMAwheel is designed to perform a comprehensive process simulation of the low-pressure die casting process for wheel castings. The module takes into account any major heat and fluid flow relevant process and boundary condition. The functional range of the module MAGMAwheel corresponds essentially with that of the module MAGMAlpdc.
Main objectives of the module: • Definition of filling condition either as function of furnace pressure or applied at the gate, as function of time or flow rate. • Separate definition of pressures for filling within the tube and within the casting. • Definition of applied pressure time during solidification • Calculation of feeding conditions within the casting as function of gravity, the applied pressure and the actual metallostatic pressure.
MAGMAiron
The MAGMAiron module uses a microscopic kinetic growth model, which predicts the solidification sequence of cast iron alloys. Based on the alloy composition and the applied metallurgy, MAGMAiron predicts the type and amount of graphite (grey, ductile or compacted iron) formed and gives an accurate simulation of competing graphite expansion and solidification contraction forces through which shrinkage and porosity are determined. This also allows the prediction of the final microstructures and mechanical properties in the casting.
MAGMAiron supports the foundryman by: • determining the effect of any risering and gating system design on the casting quality • removal or adjustment of features such as chill • provides "maps" for the variation in mechanical properties through out the casting • supports improved inoculation treatment in relation to alloy composition
