difficulty on how to implement shot sleeve simulation in flow 3d cast

ankur singh · October 10, 2014, 03:28

I was unable to do shot sleeve simulation( high pressure die casting) in flow3d cast ,any one plz me .

Thankyou

Any one plz help

Did you try the tutorials in the Help menu?

Dear melissa,

I have done tutorial , but not completely understand things , like what is metal input , can I use this in high pressure die casting simulation. when I trying to run simulation with out use metal input, simulation progress show always 0% , but, when I use metal input ,simulation progress start increasing . so plz solve my this basics problem.

Same Problem here... Please any help

Ankur Singh did you solve the problem???

Dear ankur

Be careful for the signs of the velocity of the plunger.. To tell the software about the real direction you need

Metal input is another way to define metal into the domain other than at mesh
To create the piston you must define a moving geometry
To define the fluid within the shot sleeve you will need to define a fluid region (Cast 3.5) as geometry Metal type

How much time the solver takes to calculate the problem? Please with the pc machine configurations

Depends on number of cells, physics activated, and the flow velocities.
You can start to run the simulation and look at time step and divide that into estimated fill time to get an idea but the time step will get smaller as the velocity gets higher.

can any one help me, to find out these result, i tried to much but can't find proper result , can any one solve my problem then i send STL model to their emails
