What Is THERCAST Software?

THERCAST is a state-of-the-art 3D finite element method software created by Transvalor for simulating the entire range of casting processes. This robust tool allows engineers to analyze the manufacturing cycle, from the initial liquid metal flow to the final solidification phase. By accurately modeling thermo-mechanical phenomena, THERCAST helps companies anticipate and mitigate costly defects like porosity and bulging. Its use leads to increased production efficiency, reduced non-quality costs, and faster time-to-market by accelerating the development cycle for high-value cast parts.

THERCAST Features

THERCAST provides a multilingual graphical interface designed for global usability. It allows engineers and operators to work in their preferred language, improving accessibility, and reducing training time across international teams. The intuitive layout ensures a smoother workflow and better understanding of complex simulation data.

See How It Works

THERCAST enables users to quickly and accurately analyze manufacturing processes through high-fidelity simulation models. It captures key physical and thermal phenomena to provide precise insights into metal flow, solidification, and cooling behavior, ensuring higher production quality and reduced rework.

See How It Works

The software helps engineers anticipate potential manufacturing defects early in the process, such as porosity, shrinkage, or inclusions. By identifying these issues during the virtual simulation phase, users can optimize process parameters and prevent costly production errors.

See How It Works

THERCAST facilitates efficient interpretation and sharing of simulation outcomes. With tools like Custom Actions, users can instantly display essential results, such as temperature gradients or metal front, and save their workspace setup for consistent future analyses, simplifying collaboration and reporting.

See How It Works

THERCAST helps extend the mold life cycle by simulating thermal and mechanical stresses during the casting process. This allows engineers to optimize mold design, anticipate wear, and implement adjustments before production, reducing downtime and improving overall casting efficiency.
