NovaCast Features
This capability allows users to virtually test most commercial casting methods, including gravity sand, lost wax, and low-pressure die casting. Engineers can simulate various materials like steel, iron, aluminum, and copper alloys to predict mold filling and solidification.
The ‘NovaStress’ module is used to calculate the residual stresses within the casting and the mold after the solidification process is complete. This specialized analysis helps predict potential defects like hot and cold cracks, ensuring a stable final component structure.
The ATAS MetStar system offers an adaptive and user-friendly solution for managing the metallurgical production process. It allows foundries to analyze, stabilize, and optimize critical metallurgical parameters to consistently improve quality and stability.
’NovaGating’ is an innovative add-on program that automatically calculates the dimensions for the gating system based on the required molten metal velocity. This standardization simplifies the development of ingates and feeders using proven calculations, leading to better casting development.
The Good Guys' Index (GGI) software tool calculates the CO2 emissions generated during the entire production lifecycle of various metal castings. This feature allows businesses to assess sustainability, compare production methods, and work toward a more responsible, decarbonized foundry industry.
