Calculates Filling Parameters:

• Calculates casting volume, surface area and average thickness
  
• Calculates casting filling time, gate velocity and cavity pressure



Designs Gating System:


• Gate and Gate Runner Design
  
  Designs gates along with fan and tangential gate runners.
  Determines the weight across gate.
  Displays metal flow lines in the casting with color map based on fluidity.
  
  
• Overflow Design
  
  Designs rectangle and wedge type overflows.
  Displays editable 2D previews
  
  
• Runner Design
  
  Validates 3D runner layout. Designs runner system ensuring tangency between branches.
  DiEdifice creates 3D solid features of gating system, which can be used for machining.
  
  
• Venting Calculations.
  
  Calculates venting dimensions and exit venting velocity.
  

  

  Standard Parts Library:
  
  
• Built in DME catalog
  
• Provision for creating customized library of parts
  
• Pick-n-place standard die parts like ejection plates, guide pillars, ejection pins, etc.
  

  

  Gating System Analysis:
  
  
• Reynolds Number
  Calculates Reynolds Number of Gating system elements which helps control the turbulence levels in the flow
  
  
• PQ2 Check
  Determines the dynamic injection pressure required to fill the casting through the designed gating system. Computes machine parameters like opening force, fill ratio, plunger velocities and hydraulic system pressure.
  
  
• Air Entrapment
  Analyses the casting for air entrapment and compares it with recommended permissible limits.
  
  
• Yield
  Computes and improves yield due to optimized gating system design
  
  
• Health Check of Gating System
  Determines the gates, which may solidify earlier than the casting. Indicates flow paths that may be susceptible to filling defects.

  

  Designs Cooling System
  
  
• Determines the total effective cooling channel length required to achieve thermal equilibrium.
  
• Performs collision check of cooling lines with casting and ejections pin network.
  
  Designs Ejection System
  
  
• Computes the fixed side and moving side catchment area, total ejection load and required number of ejection pins.
  
  
• Determines ejection pin distribution across casting based on catching faces to achieve balanced ejection.
