NovaFlow & Solid CV High Pressure Die Casting
NovaFlow & Solid CV High Pressure Die Casting
Faster and more accurate simulations
NovaFlow&Solid CV HPD utilizes Control Volume Meshing technology (CVM). With this technology the surface of the 3D model controls the shape of the mesh elements on the border of the casting. This creates cubic elements inside the casting and border cells on the boundary of the casting.

Advantages of using the CVM technology
The CVM technology has the following advantages in comparison with the FDM / FEM method
-
For most castings simulation time is reduced to around 10%, with the same or better accuracy. (FDM)
-
Higher accuracy in simulation thanks to perfect despricion of the 3D model. All sections are correct in size. (FDM)
-
CVM needs less cells to define the casting geometry and ensures faster simulations and smaller result files. (FDM)
-
The meshing process is completely automatic and takes only seconds. (FEM)
-
The method enables more advanced calculation such as gas flow, contact task (stress) or full mould process. (FDM)
NovaFlow&Solid CV unique technology
Besides the new meshing technology NovaFlow&Solid has the following unique functionality:
Formula function for creating your own criteria, for example calculation of Dendrite Arm Spacing (DAS).
With particle tracer function users can more accurately simulate flow behaviour and also induce slag particles into the melt for tracing.
