Abstract：
It maybe have shrinkage cavity and crack in the production process of casting. For the sake of the question will be resolved, it can use ProCAST as a professional numerical simulation software. It has a function of simulating and analyzing the filling and solidification process of castings, it predicts possible problems (e.g. shrinkage). Take advantage of information from software feedback, the technical process and the plan will be optimized. The qualified rate of the products has been significantly improved. According to production practice, it is shown that casting simulation software can accurately predict the problem about shrinkage and porosity, so as to assist technicians to optimize the scheme.
