In this research, Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) simulation was performed by using the simulation software (Z-Cast) in order to optimize casting design of an automobile part (steering wheel housing) which is well known and complicated to achieve a good casting layout. The simulation results were analyzed and compared with experimental results. During the filling process, internal porosities caused by air entrap were predicted and reduced remarkably by the modification of the gate system and the configuration of overflow. With the solidification analysis, internal porosities caused by the solidification shrinkage were predicted and reduced by the modification of the gate system.

In this research, Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) simulation was performed by using the simulation software (AnyCasting) in order to optimize casting design of an automobile part (Oil Pan_7G9E) which is well known and complicated to achieve a good casting layout. The simulation results were analyzed and compared carefully in order to apply them into the production die-casting mold. During the filling process, internal porosities caused by air entrap were predicted and reduced remarkably by the modification of the gate system and the configuration of overflow. With the solidification analysis, internal porosities caused by the solidification shrinkage were predicted and reduced by the modification of the gate system.

In this research, in order to optimize casting design of an automobile part (Gear Box), Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) was performed by using the simulation software (Z-Cast). The simulation results were analyzed and compared with experimental results. During the filling process, internal porosities caused by air entrap were predicted and reduced remarkably by the modification of the gate system and the configuration of overflow. With the solidification analysis, internal porosities caused by the solidification shrinkage were predicted and reduced by the modification of the gate system. For making better permanent High Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) mold, cooling systems on several thick areas are proposed in order to reduce internal porosities caused by the solidification shrinkage.

In present casting industries, product development paradigm is shifting from traditional trial-and-error to proof-of-concept based on CAE-enabled simulation. In the new production development paradigm, CAE simulation plays an important role because it models the entire casting process and reveals the dynamic behavior of the casting system in working conditions. In this research, Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) simulation was performed by using the simulation software (AnyCasting) in order to optimize casting design of an automobile part (Upper Oil Pan) which is well known and complicated to achieve a good casting layout. The simulation results were analyzed and compared carefully in order to apply them into the production die-casting mold. During the filling process, internal porosities caused by air entrapments were predicted and reduced remarkably by the modification of the gate system and the configuration of overflow. With the solidification analysis, internal porosities caused by the solidification shrinkage were also predicted.

Numerical simulation in the printer cover product molding process with gas assisted injection molding was carried out by means of computer aided engineering. The filling process and surface quality were forecasted. The simulation results provide an important reference for the selection in the production process parameters. Compared with the production molding process and the actual product, CAE technology used in actual production and design is entirely feasible.

Simulation software is an essential tool for today‘s engineers. Its application enables castings to be designed with predicting the final results prior to they are produced. Thus, the simulation plays significant role in casting production. If a realistic calculation of the mold filling and solidification processes can be made it is possible to predict casting defects caused by casting system and/or casting design. In order to understand the changes occurring during solidification of casting, numerical simulation has been used in our classroom teachings for postgraduates. The software structures, mathematical principles, software utility, functions and output criteria are introduced in this paper to demonstrate that computer aided instruction is of Intuitive, attractive and can be used in classroom before the real experiments as assistant means to help postgraduates to understand what is casting and what is solidification

The CAE simulations of filling and solidification processes for die-casting are studied. Numerical analysis is presented for a practical die-casting part using HZ CAE software. The temperature distributions and filling states in solidification and filling process are presented. Then the deficiencies of the part are predicted. Based on the analyzing results, the two die halves are modified and the die-casting parameters are adjusted. The service life of the revised die is increased from 12,000 shots to 20,000shots. It is proved that CAE simulation results can offer a helpful reference for die-casting die design.

This paper presents research on the combustion and emission characteristics of a four-stroke Natural gas–Diesel dual-fuel marine engine at full load. The AVL FIRE R2018a (AVL List GmbH, Graz, Austria) simulation software was used to conduct three-dimensional simulations of the combustion process and emission formations inside the engine cylinder in both diesel and dual-fuel mode to analyze the in-cylinder pressure, temperature, and emission characteristics. The simulation results were then compared and showed a good agreement with the measured values reported in the engine’s shop test technical data. The simulation results showed reductions in the in-cylinder pressure and temperature peaks by 1.7% and 6.75%, while NO, soot, CO, and CO2 emissions were reduced up to 96%, 96%, 86%, and 15.9%, respectively, in the dual-fuel mode in comparison with the diesel mode. The results also show better and more uniform combustion at the late stage of the combustions inside the cylinder when operating the engine in the dual-fuel mode. Analyzing the emission characteristics and the engine performance when the injection timing varies shows that, operating the engine in the dual-fuel mode with an injection timing of 12 crank angle degrees before the top dead center is the best solution to reduce emissions while keeping the optimal engine power.

To analyze the transient response of transformer windings under very fast transient over-voltage (VFTO), multi-conductor transmission line (MTL) model based on the representation of transformer windings by its individual turns are established. Space discretization is needed for solving the time-domain telegraph equations of MTL. To calculate the voltage distributions along transformer windings, through combining the compact finite difference (CFD) theory and the backward differentiation formulas (BDF). Simulation software ATP is introduced, and the simulation results demonstrate that the proposed approach is feasible.
