MAGMASOFT MAGMA5 SOFTWARE
MAGMA’s product and service portfolio includes the powerful, modular simulation software MAGMASOFT ®,with the newest release MAGMA 5 as well as engineering services for casting design and optimization. MAGMA offers comprehensive solutions to the metal casting industry, casting buyers and casting designers worldwide. For the quantitative assessment of casting distortion in the measurement perspective, it is now possible to compare the virtual measurement with the real part geometry.įinally, with MAGMA 5 5.2, a new database of riser sleeves, which was generated by ASK Chemicals, is now available. Stress simulation results can be prepared for faster post-processing. The automatic enmeshment of complex geometries is now further simplified by new enmeshment criteria and procedures. Sand casting processes can be resumed with different conditions at the end of any process stage. Additionally, the MAGMAhpdc module now supports the assessment of the real casting temperature as a function of the current shot sleeve conditions.Īll users will benefit from the new “resume point” capability, which allows flexibility in re-starting the simulation with modified die casting process conditions, based on the previous or next-to-last casting cycle. User results can easily be defined and created automatically during a simulation or subsequently in the result perspective.ĭie casting users will appreciate an improved visualization of the process time line and extended consideration of the heat transfer conditions between die casting and die as a function of the local feeding conditions. The implementation of user results further offers a powerful tool to compile user-specific criteria based on any MAGMA 5 results.
A new criterion to predict cold cracks allows the user to find stress-related casting quality problems more quickly. The progress of feeding and porosity formation can be monitored and displayed continuously during the entire solidification process. New result criteria allow for a more effective evaluation of metal cooling and critical metal speeds during filling. Various new tools facilitate a standardized result evaluation. A special highlight is the option to display the geometry and all MAGMA 5 results in 3D stereo, using shutter or red/cyan 3D glasses and to store them as 3D images or movies.
Filling, solidification and stress results can be animated in a synchronized mode. MAGMA 5 5.2 now allows the direct comparison of up to four different project versions in the result perspective. The main focus of the development efforts was on increasing the efficiency in evaluating simulation results. More than 160 improvements were implemented for the user in this new release of version 5.2. Schaumburg, Illinois (Chicago) – With MAGMA 5 5.2, MAGMA Foundry Technologies has recently released the latest version of its leading casting process simulation software with significant new and improved functionality.
