Altair® Inspire™ Cast

Radically new designs in combination with new materials demand designers to evaluate their designs early. Engage early with Inspire Cast to simulate possible issues upfront with minimal or no training. As the process gets refined the ability to further investigate and optimize the process makes Inspire Cast uniquely valuable during the entire product development cycle from early design to manufacturing.

It is typical in the industry to first design a process and then simulate it. Inspire Cast turns that concept overs its head by helping users evolve the process in tandem with their ideas. You can start the filling with virtualized in-gates that will guide you through areas of porosity and the right risers to compensate. Gravity die, gravity sand, investment, high pressure, low pressure die casting, and tilt pouring all have guided templates for refinement.

State of the art, bi-phasic finite element formulation allows for capturing the filling and solidification process with great precision. This helps with building great quality castings with high margins.
