C3P Software, a pioneer supplier of CAX & PLM solution for industrial design and manufacturing processes, announced today to launch the general-purpose and multi-physical simulation software - Cast-Works V7.7.
Cast-Works was designed to create a general-purpose and multi-physical simulation utility that could successfully enable a wide range of engineering and science communities to conduct simulation studies with more confidence and less cost. Cast-Works includes physical models of structural mechanics, heat transfer, fluid dynamics and acoustics, and beyond. These are described by partial differential equations which Cast-Works solves by the Finite Element Method (FEM). Cast-Works supports parallel computing, from a few CPUs/ cores to hundreds CPUs/ cores. For many problems good scalability over thousands of cores is reached.
Cast-Works comes with an all-in-one user interface and self-integrated features including pre-processing, solver, and post-processing modules. It is a long-term-support product that aims to accurately model engineering problems using the finite element and advanced numerical methods. By taking advantages of modern algorithms and software architecture, Cast-Works demonstrates excellent computational performance and user experience.
As general purpose finite element analysis software, CAST-WORKS contains tons of features those allow the users to conduct many simulation studies.

Couple to existed C3P Software Solution
To have an accurate result, the product development must consider the defects of the manufacturing process also, for example, the gas porosity and shrinkage porosity of the casting process, the residual stress and distortion of the stamping, casting and welding process. All these factors must be studied carefully during the design stage.
This is a major challenge for the traditional simulation tools. It asks several simulation software and some user's routing to exchange the data, also due to the software belongs to different software vendors, such communication is quite complicated usually. The Cast-Works can make a link with the above manufacturing simulation software closely, such as Cast-Designer, AI-Form and Cast-Weld. In the same model or another model, same material database and simulation environment, the user can complete the full simulation accurately and easily.
"Today, even if the global economic recovery is facing significant headwinds amid new waves of COVID-19 infections, persistent labour market challenges, lingering supply-chain challenges and rising inflationary pressures, we still continue to make big investment to our R&D for product development." David Keck, marketing director of C3P Software declared. "We all are aware of technology and the happening innovation every day. We hope our Cast-Works also can help your business and make you a happy life!"
