WHATS NEW
WHATS NEW
This version is an update of version 2009.0 which corresponds to the first release of the new STL Mesh Generator. It also includes problems corrections and features improvements. For a complete list of the new or improved product functionalities, users are invited to consult the Whats New / Version 2009.1 section of the on-line product documentation.
MESHCAST
The Release of MeshCAST 2009.1 corresponds to the first release of a totally new surface mesh generator based upon STL files. The goal of this STL surface mesh generator is to offer the possibility (in most cases) to generate meshes of single volume or assemblies in a fully automatic way.
Please note that in the above picture, the model is "exploded" for viewing purposes only and that the resulting surface mesh is a fully assembled mesh of the different components using single click STL SM application. For more details, please refer to the "STL Mesh Generator" chapter of the MeshCAST 2009.1 Manual.
WHATS NEW MeshCAST
WHATS NEW
PRECAST
The following features have been added or improved: A new mapping tool is now available. It allows to extract Temperature, FVOL (filling information) and Porosity results from one calculation to an other, in the case where the two calculations were made with different meshes. New commands were added in the PreCAST Batch script (see the "Batch Preprocessing" section for more details).
Mapping Tool
A mapping tool was developed as mesh definition depends on process modeling goal. For instance, to capture high thermal gradients of a heat treatment quenching step, the mesh has to be refined in the gradient direction at the surface of the part compared with the standard solidification and fluid flow modeling. The principle of the mapping is the following for fields defined at nodes (like Temperature, FVOL or porosity): for each node of the target mesh, the corresponding element of the source mesh is searched. Then, the value of the target node is interpolated from the values of the vertices of the source element. Warning: The mesh from which the results will be extracted must be in tetraedra only (it is not allowed to have hex or wedges). However the target mesh (i.e. the mesh on which the mapping will be applied) can have any type of elements. The results mapping is working in the same way as the "Extract. The only difference is that one should select the "Mapping" button instead of the "Extract" one. All the rest of the procedure is identical.
WHATS NEW PreCAST
WHATS NEW
The two following images are showing the result of a mapping of an HPDC casting from a coarse mesh (left) to a fine mesh (right).
One can see that the match between the two meshes is very good. The quality of the mapping is as good when going from a fine mesh to a coarse one.
Thermodynamic Databases
The following features have been added or improved: The Ni database was improved by the addition of Mn (up to 3%) and Cu. In addition, the quality of the calculations of the liquidus and of the gamma prime solvus were improved. The Fe database was improved in the case of alloys containing Nb (in conjunction with C).
WHATS NEW PreCAST
WHATS NEW
The model for the calculation of the Yield stress of Al alloys was improved. Comparisons with experimental data are giving good results. Accordingly, the Yield stress of the "A356-Stress" and "A356-Visco-Stress" entries of the PreCAST database (stress.db) were modified to take into account this improvement. As the Yield stress is depending strongly on the microstructure, which is a result of different cooling rates, the A356-Stress single entry was replaced by four entries, which are valid for 4 typical cooling rates of 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 K/s. The following figure is showing the calculated Yield Stress for an A356 aluminum alloy, cast under different cooling rates (and thus having different value of SDAS). One can see the very strong effect of the microstructure on the Yield Stress.
The calculation of the Young's modulus of Cast iron was improved in order to take into account the influence of the graphite shape (i.e. for gray, compact or ductile iron). For this Young's modulus calculation, the effect of the graphite shape is triggered by the Mg content, according to the following amounts: Gray iron for Mg > 0.01%; Compact for 0.01% < Mg < 0.03%; Ductile iron for Mg > 0.03%.
WHATS NEW PreCAST
WHATS NEW
SOLVER
The following features have been improved: The limitation of 10000 steps in Radiation calculation has been removed. A problem in the reinitialisation of the displacement in the case of stress and cycling was corrected.
Parallel Processing
Continuous efforts are being devoted to improve the scalability, repeatability and availability on various platforms of the ProCAST DMP solver. The following improvements have been made in ProCAST 2009.1: The THERMAL 2 option is now available in DMP. A problem of LPDC filling was corrected.
POST-PROCESSING
VisualCAST
The main features of release 5.5 are mentioned in the list below: - The "Scale dialog box" (e.g. to change the temperature scale for instance) can be opened automatically by a double-click on the scale. The liquidus and solidus are now displayed on the temperature scale. This display can be deactivated in the Scale dialog box (under Preferences - Datum Line) The plot of free surface information (like temperature, velocity ...) was improved. Improvements in the Exports are now available.
Please refer to the release notes of Visual Environment 5.5 under the section VisualCAST for the exhaustive list of improvements and new features.
