CASTING SIMULATION
Inspire Cast is a fast, easy to use, affordable casting simulation solution that enables users to massively improve the quality of there castings by clearly identifying and eliminating casting defects such as air entrapment, porosity, cold shuts, and much more.
Guided process templates offer five easy steps to simulate gravity die, gravity sand, investment casting, high pressure, low pressure die casting and tilt pouring
