The Visiometa Workflow - Part I: Performance
We have been asked on social media about the utility of fast modulus computation, when conventional thermal analysis can also be done in a relatively short time today. So we decided to demonstrate the difference between "quite quickly" and "real fast" for you.
Aloys Heuvers: Inventor of the Circle Method
The Heuvers Circle Method is one of the first published techniques for controlling solidification and evaluating the castability of a component. It is so easy to use that it is still frequently applied today despite all the advanced technical possibilities.
Nicolas Chvorinov: A Brief Look at his Legacy
The solidification modulus establishes a relationship between the volume-surface ratio of a simple casting and its solidification time. The idea goes back to a famous article by Nicolas Chvorinov, whose birthday we want to commemorate today.
31st Ledebur Colloquium in Freiberg
The Ledebur Colloquium is a well-known event in the German foundry industry. For the Visiometa team it was a great opportunity to share knowledge, meet new people and present the benefits of our products and services.
Castforge 2022 - Visiting the International Exhibition in Stuttgart
Following its great debut four years ago, the CastForge trade fair was again successful at its second edition from June 21 to 23 this year. The number of exhibitors from the fields of foundry and forging technology have already more than doubled compared to the first event.
Euroguss 2022 - International Trade Fair for Die Casting
The international die casting industry meets at the biggest trade fair for die casting for the 15th time. Our engineers visited the exhibition and had many interesting conversations.
64th Austrian Foundry Conference in Leoben
With almost 300 participants, the Austrian Foundry Conference was a complete success and the atmosphere was excellent. Throughout the event, one sensed that there is a great demand for specialist events and conferences in presence.
The Solidification Modulus Explained
Designing a feeding system using physical solidification simulation can be very time-consuming. On the other hand, every foundryman is familiar with the use of what is known as the solidification modulus. But what exactly does it stand for and how does it work?
VDI Conference 2021 - Casting Technology in Engine Construction
In addition to the many inspiring presentations, the event offered space for exhibitions, personal exchange and change of perspective, taking into account all pandemic-related safety precautions.
