MAGMAlink supports the integration of casting process simulation into the product development chain. MAGMAlink enables the import of meshes from different FE-packages for performance analysis into the MAGMASOFT
® preprocessor. The results of the MAGMASOFT
® process simulation can be transferred to these meshes. The use of this module requires the installation of a MAGMASOFT
® standard license.
MAGMAlink currently supports file formats from the following simulation tools:
- ABAQUS
- I-DEAS
- PATRAN
- ANSYS
- PERMAS
- FEMFAT (I-DEAS-Universal-file)
- FALANCS (IDEAS-Universal-file)
MAGMAlink reads external meshes and stores them as MAGMASOFT
® geometry files (*. geo file) within the MAGMASOFT
® preprocessor. These meshes can be combined with other CAD data or with geometries created with the MAGMASOFT
® preprocessor. Additionally, MAGMAlink considers local co-ordinate systems during import and export.
Furthermore, MAGMAlink supports the conversion of MAGMASOFT
® results into the file formats named above. In general, all MAGMASOFT
® results can be converted.
