THERCAST® software

A daily partner

In extremely competitive and ever-changing markets, simulation is now an essential step in the development cycle of high-value cast parts.

THERCAST® offers a complete and modular solution which will be able to provide you with valuable support for the production of ingots, castings or even continuous casting.

THERCAST® is your partner at every stage of your activity:

• In R&D phase, you can develop innovative or complex processes and optimize them by choosing the best parameters.
• In quotation phase, THERCAST® offers the possibility to simulate the production of the desired part in order to position yourself more quickly.
• THERCAST® is also defined as time-to-market accelerator thanks to an increased definition of your manufacturing capabilities. You save time in the prototyping phase and control costs in the production phase.

Thanks to a better understanding of physical phenomena, THERCAST® guarantees the feasibility of the part and limits non-quality costs by detecting casting defaults upstream.

THERCAST® also supports you in your engineering choices, in order to meet the needs expressed by your customers but also in a continuous improvement approach by optimizing existing productions.

Finally, choosing THERCAST® means capitalizing on your know-how within your company.

A user experience tailored for careers in foundry

THERCAST® offers a multilingual graphical interface and a business-oriented work environment. The software includes simulation templates with object lists or predefined process parameters. You can customize these models to fit your fabrications and your in-house terminology.

THERCAST® offers a graphical module dedicated to the material specifications representing the thermo-physical data and the associated laws of behavior. From the materials module, manually adjust the curves of the material parameters on the graph.

Use the periodic table of elements to create the macro-microsegregation data for your custom alloy or import the material datasheets from software based on the CALPHAD method.

With THERCAST®, enjoy features that facilitate analysis, interpretation and dissemination of results such as ’Custom Actions’ to display in a single click your most important or most common results (e.g. metal front, porosity, etc.) or saving your workspace to obtain the same visual environment next time you run the software. Thus, the setup and result analysis steps are greatly facilitated.

An END-TO-END solution for the entire manufacturing chain

Transvalor offers a wide range of software to simulate the entire manufacturing chain.

Start by simulating ingot casting in THERCAST® and continue your analysis in FORGE® to study open-die forging and control the rate of porosity closure. With SIMHEAT® software, you can also simulate heat treatments applied to the castings.

Transvalor’s ’End-to-End’ solution ensures perfect interoperability between its software applications with simple, fast data transfer and no loss of results accuracy.
