概要
The aim of the training is to give a detailed introduction to foundry simulation. The participants will learn all necessary features and functions for an efficient work with ProCAST in Visual-Environment. This is done on the basis of practical examples for different foundry processes, such as high pressure die casting (HPDC), low pressure gravity die casting (LPDC), gravity casting (GC) and investment casting (IC). The selection of casting processes covered during the training will be adapted to the group of participants. After completion of the training, direct entry into the application is possible even without previous FEM experience.
