13. 5 Simple Steps for any Casting
Simulation in Click2Cast!

14. Step 1– Geometry (Import & Setup)

15. Step 2 – Define the Ingate and Mesh

16. Step 3 – Set up the Process
Parameters

17. Step 4 – Run the Calculation

18. Step 5 – Analyze the Results

19. Filling Simulation Results
Filling time provides a visual
analysis of how quickly the part is
being filled.
Solid fraction is very useful for preventing
potential problems resulting from lack of
material due to solidification.
The Pressure option is useful for
comparing pressures used in your
machine.

20. Solidification Simulation Results
Temperature: This option shows
changes in temperature during
filling.
Solid fraction: Any material that solidifies will
disappear from the animation and any liquid
material will be represented in red.
Solidification times: Control the
solidification time at each point of the
component.

21. Solidification Simulation Results
Shrinkage porosity is the most
common type of porosity and is
generally found on parts with a
large surface area.
The solidification modulus is the difference
between the volume and the area. It is used
to calculate the size of the riser needed to
prevent the shrinkage porosity using the riser
designer tool.
The Mold Temperature shows the
change in the temperature of the mold
during solidification.
