We are pleased to announce the release of THERCAST® NxT 2.0 version, which has been improved following your comments and recommendations. New functionalities, improvement of existing functionalities and new graphical interface, discover the essentials of THERCAST® NxT 2.0 in the following points.
A new powerful and intuitive graphical interface
Our GUI team has developed a new multilingual and business-oriented graphical interface, bringing you a simplified and personalized user experience.
- Manipulation on multiple objects (rotation, trimming, motion, etc.).
Benefits: Simpler analysis.
- Improvement of centered rotation for tilt casting.
Benefits: Simulation closer from reality, easier and more accurate process analysis .
- Integration of 'Custom Actions' applicable in a single clic.
Benefts: Customizing of the results display for a more accurate analysis.
- Preview of the cycling thanks to the visualization of the active regulation zones within the kinematics preview.
Benefits: Optimization of the shake-out time for the paramaters of the casting machine.
- Integration of the Python console for post-process of scalar results.
Benefits: Access to a simple user language in analysis mode.
New or significantly improved functionalities
- Improvement of the heat transfer radiation model. Read more
Benefits: Improvement of the precision of the results of this function with a big reduction in CPU times and more intuitive interface.
- Integration of an inclusion manager with dedicated area for data setup.
Benefits: Easier data setup and more accurate analysis.
- Integration of an inlet manager with definition of parameters for geometry, filling, mesh, dynamic or not, submerged or not, etc.
Benefits: Advanced parametrization of metal injection without orientation, trajectory or geometry constraints.
Example of inlet on a high pressure die casting application.
- New global slice computation model for continuous casting. Read more
Benefits: Significant reduction in calculation times.
- Integration of filters in foundry casting with setting of the shape of the filter and the control model for pressure/velocity.
Benefits: More realistic simulation of the fluid flow control and of the metal cleaning through the filter.

- New mold/part meshing tool to create a mold mesh from a part and vice versa.
Benefits: Automatic definition of computation areas.
- New specific remeshing tool to merge the meshes of several objects.
Benefits: Make it possible to join components with the same characteristics into a single object.
- Consideration of temperature-dependent exothermic reaction for powder.
Benefits: Simulation closer to reality with taking into account of temperature.
- Temperature driven cycling.
Benefits: Simulation closer to reality with taking into account of temperature.
Access to high value-added tools
- Significant improvement of the automatic remeshing during computation (FORCE).
Benefits: Better precision of the automatic remeshing, strong reduction of computation times, reduction of data setup times.
Automatic remeshing on aluminum foundry casting.
- Access to JMatPro TTT database files (TTT diagram, rheological behavior, austenitization, etc.).
Benefits: Extended materials database, better analysis of metallurgical phenomena.
- Access to user scripts: for the experts, creation of 'user routines'.
Benefits: From the fields already available in THERCAST®, creation of its own routines in the results given by THERCAST®.
- New tutorials (directional solidification casting, centrifugal casting, tilt casting...).
