The integration of casting simulation into the design chain as well as growing demand in know-how about local properties resulted in the request of the industry to predict structure formation and casting properties for non-ferrous components. MAGMA develops comprehensive new capabilities to simulate phase formation and resulting properties of aluminum and magnesium alloys as a function of kinetic growth models, considering the alloy composition, metal treatment and local cooling conditions. This results in the capability to predict the amount and distribution of preferential and deteriorate phases and hence helps foundrymen to set up robust process conditions and designers to understand the impact of their designs on the performance of cast components.

DAS, phase distribution and local mechanical properties are results available to the user.

Additionally MAGMAnon-ferrous allows predicting micro and gasing porosity defects based on actual gas content in the melt.
