MAGMA CC 6.1 introduces significant innovations and enhancements for the simulation of continuous casting processes.

• Stop & Go
  • A flexible design of pouring velocity now accommodates pauses, return strokes and cyclical movements within the withdrawal process and simulates them. This "stop & go" cycle can be mapped across the entire withdrawal process, thus simplifying the analysis of complex process sequences.

• New 1D Strand Profile Dialog
  • In CC it is possible to create a 1D profile over the entire strand with a single click
• Clipping of Stress Results
• Particle counter
  • Particles (tracer particles) can be counted, e.g. to assess how many particles get into different strands (billets or ingots) via the launder. This result can then be displayed as a function of time.
• Tundish / Simultaneous Filling and Withdrawal
• Fixed Microporosity Criteria, Improvements were made to the existing criterion for microporosity.
• K-Epsilon RNG Turbulence Model

  • Tthe turbulence model in MAGMA CC has been extended to describe the flow behavior more accurately – especially in the sump area. This provides deeper insights into the flow dynamics of the continuous casting process, while improving the simulation accuracy.

• Improoved Segregation Model
• Impact of Support Rolls on Strand Displacement (Stress)

  • Another focus is on the detailed consideration of mechanical influences. MAGMA CC now makes it possible to precisely simulate not only the influence of the mold but also the influence of guide rolls – especially in continuous steel casting. This enables users to better analyze how roller position errors or other mechanical influences affect the deformation of the strand and, ultimately, the product quality.
