What is Casting Simulation Software?

Casting simulation software is computer-aided engineering software that helps engineers design and analyze the casting process of a given material. It enables engineers to identify potential issues with a specific design before committing to the manufacturing phase, helping reduce costs and time while ensuring quality products. Casting simulation software also helps manufacturers visualize the filling process, solidification sequence, and microstructural evolution for different casting methods. Through its various functionalities, this type of software is an important tool for optimizing casting processes in a variety of industries. Compare and read user reviews of the best Casting Simulation software currently available using the table below. This list is updated regularly.

    CAPlite

    CAPlite

    EKK, INC.

    Capture the power of natural solidification thermal analyses within an affordable and capable software package. CAPlite features a step-by-step graphical interface, making it ideal even for those not experienced in casting software. Starting with a CAD design, CAPlite guides you through every step, from meshing to post-processing. Natural solidifications are effective thermal simulation that gives results within minutes. From die casting to sand casting, CAPlite can identify problems for all casting types. The simplicity of natural solidifications enables them to augment your entire casting operation at every stage: design risers, gating, and chill configurations to identify defects, or simply help visualize the otherwise abstract process of solidification. CAPlite comes with the power of natural solidifications plus more to give you the tools you need to improve your castings at a fraction of the cost.
