MAGMAwheel is designed to perform a comprehensive process simulation of the low-pressure die casting process for wheel castings. The module takes into account any major heat and fluid flow relevant process and boundary condition. The functional range of the module MAGMAwheel corresponds essentially with that of the module MAGMAlpdc.
Main objectives of the module:
- Definition of filling condition either as function of furnace pressure or
applied at the gate, as function of time or flow rate. - Separate definition of pressures for filling within the tube and
within the casting. - Definition of applied pressure time during solidification
- Calculation of feeding conditions within the casting as function of
gravity, the applied pressure and the actual metallostatic pressure.
