Unlocking Your Potential – Correctly Implementing MAGMASOFT®

Successfully using MAGMASOFT® means more than investing in software and hardware. The keys to success are trained users, established and transparent processes in the company as well as the team involved. MAGMA supports you with individually tailored modules and methodical approaches. We call this process implementation of MAGMASOFT®.

Casting is a black box ... and everything is happening at the same time. A good casting has numerous quality-determining criteria that must be met. To achieve this, you need to consider the entire process chain. Developing and producing sophisticated castings requires a systematic approach. Long development times and the amount of people involved in the decision-making process make it difficult to adopt such an approach.

MAGMASOFT® supports you in these challenges – regardless of whether you are just about to introduce the software in your company or are a long-time user.

The most important question is what goals you want to achieve with MAGMASOFT®: from reviewing your existing gating and risering system, to supporting your communication with customers and suppliers, up to developing optimized and robust process conditions before the first casting. There are many different possibilities for using findings from MAGMASOFT®. They require a methodical approach and established processes for the user, the team and the management in the company. This is the only way to unlock the full potential of the software.

Instabiler Prozess
What is the reason for the defect? MAGMASOFT® helps to eliminate problems systematically.

The challenge is that all those involved have different responsibilities, interests and expectations: There is pressure from the customer: "We need a solution immediately. We have observed process variations, what is the reason? Calculating takes too long, we need to start pouring! We have 5 % scrap, but the simulation didn't show the defect!" The resolution of this trade-off around MAGMASOFT® requires settling different questions: How do you plan to use the software? How do you control the success of the use of MAGMASOFT®? Who uses the results from MAGMASOFT®? When do you need the information? How do you generate knowledge for your decisions and concrete actions from all the simulation data?

How Implementation Works With MAGMA

We support you in mastering such (or similar) challenges – to enable you to work methodically and holistically with 
MAGMASOFT® as quickly as possible. We call this task “implementation”. For us, implementation means that we stay by your side as a co-pilot from the very start, jointly developing a long-term strategy that meets your company's specific requirements and thus makes it even more successful.

Dimensions for implementation in the company

The goal of our implementation offer is to design a development process with you, regardless of whether you are just introducing MAGMASOFT® in your company or are a long-time user. For this, we discuss with your management your goals for the next year and the requirements for the user, the team involved and the required processes. We define the modules and methods you need to systematically increase the use of MAGMASOFT®. Beyond the training of the user, we involve all decision-makers and potential beneficiaries in the company to thus establish transparency and reliable communication for clear and secured decision-making based on the simulation results.

To do this, use MAGMA's modules from our portfolio of resources, products and services: the MAGMAacademy – to train your users and further educate your team –, our support – who helps you not only with software problems, but especially with application questions – ,and our colleagues from engineering – who support you in new development projects, as an extended workbench or when you are short on resources, if required.

Implementation Steps

Goal-Oriented and Consistent Success With the MAGMA APPROACH

The basis of our implementation offer is the methodical and systematic use of the MAGMA APPROACH. You define clear goals, define both the variables and the quality criteria to be analyzed. You set an efficient methodology suitable for this purpose and decide which approach to virtual experimentation will enable you to achieve your goals and derive suitable measures.
