Why Use Casting Simulation
Getting cast parts right the first time is critical to meeting production deadlines, reducing waste, and cutting costs. With Casting (ProCAST), manufacturers can test and optimize every step of the casting process virtually—before metal is ever poured. By predicting defects, optimizing process parameters, and transferring accurate material and process data across stages, you can achieve superior quality, shorter cycle times, and higher efficiency across sand, die, and investment casting processes.

Casting (ProCAST) simulation software is a virtual engineering tool that allows foundries and manufacturers to simulate every stage of the casting process—from filling and solidification to cooling and defect prediction. It helps ensure parts are cast correctly the first time, reducing scrap and costly redesigns.
By simulating casting conditions virtually, manufacturers can detect and correct potential issues—such as porosity, shrinkage, or thermal stress—before physical trials. This reduces the need for prototypes, shortens development cycles, and minimizes material waste.
The software supports a wide range of processes, including sand casting, die casting, investment casting, continuous casting, centrifugal casting, and other process variants such as core blowing, heat treatment, and semi-solid casting.
Yes. The software accurately predicts defects such as shrinkage porosity, air entrapment, cold shuts, gas porosity, and residual stress. It can also analyze microstructure evolution, grain structure, and mechanical properties to help improve part performance and durability.
Casting (ProCAST) simulation software can be seamlessly deployed into your current product development process. It works with your existing CAD and engineering tools, and Keysight’s implementation and support teams provide training, integration assistance, and best practices to ensure fast adoption.
It’s trusted across automotive, aerospace, heavy machinery, white goods, and electronics sectors—anywhere precision, repeatability, and efficiency in metal casting are essential to production success.
