Electromagnetic software handles large simulations
PAM-CEM Solutions is able to mix both global and local approaches to electromagnetic simulation.
"Twenty years ago, we had to explain the purpose of simulation and CAD software was still in its infancy".
"Ten years later, towards the end of the 20th century, simulation was well understood but user requirements had shifted the focus towards validating the numerical results with experimental work".
"Today, the main challenges are found in the integration of simulation results within the global product life cycle, and in the capability to rapidly predict better results with additional specific casting functionalities in a user-friendly environment".

VA One contains technology for rigorously coupling the finite element method (FEM), the boundary element method (BEM) and SEA in a single analysis.
"In fact, this is exactly what ESI Group's casting solutions can offer, because of the company's fast development, strategic acquisitions and rapid expansion all over the world".
"As casting-simulation veterans of the GIFA foundry trade fair, we will be honoured to welcome visitors to our booth in 2007 to show our recent developments and explain our strategy", says Dr Marco Gremaud, ESI Casting Solutions Product Manager.
The ESI Group booth will be run by ESI Group's multilingual casting team, with representatives from Europe, North and South America, China, Japan, Korea and India.
ESI Group has exhibited its casting-simulation solutions at GIFA since 1989.
In 2007, ESI Group's booth will be in Hall 15, Booth G14.
A major focus during GIFA 2007 will be the link between cast part properties and their usage in final assemblies under real conditions.
For that purpose, ESI Group has developed a new, open collaborative engineering environment allowing process customisation and automation.
The users of ESI Group casting solutions benefit from the multi-faceted range of products and solutions.
The ProCAST solution includes automatic mesh generation; thermal analysis with radiation effects; flow analysis for mould filling; fully coupled thermal, flow and stress analysis; and advanced metallurgical options.
The software provides state of the art simulation capabilities to the casting industry, allowing complex processes to be simulated, and also provides foundries with the capability to test more mould designs in less time.
In 2006, ProCAST was awarded the European Technology Leadership of the Year Award by Frost and Sullivan.
QuikCAST, a fast and efficient solution for casting-process evaluation, is a streamlined and user-friendly casting simulation tool that provides a complete industrial solution for foundries, as well as delivering realistic predictions at each step of the casting process.
Based on robust solvers and efficient self-correction features, this technology yields comprehensive and realistic results with high mesh independence.
