NovaFlow & Solid® is a complete mouldfilling and solidification simulation package based on advanced fluid flow and heat transfer theories.

NovaFlow & Solid® was developed with the practical foundryman in mind. It is fast, easy to use and allows the foundry to quickly test several different alternatives.

The progression of liquid metal flow is visualised in 2D or transparent 3D and can be viewed during or after the simulation.

Heat transfer is fully taken into account enabling the foundryman to predict and study not only flow but also temperature changes in the metal and die. Different alternative positions and dimensions of cooling and heating channels can be tested as well as cycling to a steady state temperature.
The influence of gravity is taken into consideration during solid simulation, which allows more accurate prediction of size and position of shrinkage cavities.

Flow and Solid simulations visualise the consequences of your gating system and die design. Casting defects such as oxide inclusions due to excessive turbulence, cold-shuts, shrinkage cavities and slag inclusions can be avoided by optimising the design of the gating and venting system
