CH. 1: THE POSSIBILITIES OF MAGMASOFT® 7

1 The Possibilities of MAGMASOFT®

This reference guide has been worked out to give you easy access to MAGMASOFT®. It covers all the main properties and features of MAGMASOFT® in a clear form. The reference guide is based on the MAGMASOFT® Manual.

Part 1 of the reference guide is a brief summary of the most important MAGMASOFT® functions based on the MAGMASOFT® Manual. The structure of this part corresponds to the carrying-out of a project and thus is mainly chronological, just like the structure of the MAGMASOFT® Manual.

Part 2 is a special index in which all important MAGMASOFT® functions and commands are listed in alphabetical order and briefly characterized. Here you find a page number reference to the de-scription in the MAGMASOFT® Manual or the Postprocessor on Geometry Manual for each entry.

Please note that this reference guide does replace neither the manual nor the training. Regardless of the reference guide, you should always work carefully through the MAGMASOFT® Manual.

1.1 What Does MAGMASOFT® Offer You?

• Complete system: All MAGMASOFT® functionalities are immediately available.

• Open system: MAGMASOFT® can be integrated into an existing EDP environment, e.g. by using an interface.

Rename Project

You can rename a project (all versions will be renamed, too):

'RENAME PROJECT'

Edit Project Information

You can assign and edit text and graphical information to a project:

'PROJECT INFO'

1.5 Modeling of the Geometry / Preprocessor

Pressing the 'preprocessor' button you reach the construction window display of MAGMASOFT®. You can start geometry modeling immediately. You can invoke all construction commands using the menu bar at the upper edge of the screen or the menu field at the right side.

In this reference guide only mouse commands are explained. For most of these commands you can also use keyboard commands. (Ch. 2, page 25 pp of this reference guide contains a short description of all preprocessor keyboard commands.)

The Preprocessor

In the preprocessor

• you model the geometry of your casting system

! You have to define many parameters that are important for simulation as well as result display already in the preprocessor!


• you have three construction views at your disposal

• you can work optionally using the mouse, the keyboard or 'command files'.

Possibilities of Geometry Modelling

You can

• import geometries as CAD datasets using a general interface: 'FILE' 'LOAD SLA'

• construct geometries using the integrated MAGMASOFT® geometry modeling (see below).

Often a combination of both methods is useful.

Geometry Administration with 'sheets'

'Sheets' are geometry plans on which you can construct components of a geometry. You can:

• create a 'sheet': 'FILE' 'NEW SHEET'

• delete a 'sheet': 'FILE' 'FREE SHEET'

• load a 'sheet': 'FILE' 'LOAD SHEET'

• store a 'sheet': 'FILE' 'SAVE SHEET'

Combining 'sheets'

• You can store sheets not only separately but also in combination (this is a must for mesh gen-eration if you use several sheets): 'FILE' 'SAVE ALL AS1'.

Geometry Database

• You can store and import standard geometries using a database: 'DATABASE' 'LIST GEO' / 'LOAD GEO'

Display and Views of the Geometry

You have:

• three two dimensional construction views

• a three dimensional view for construction control

You can:


• define the accuracy of length scales 'UNI + GRI' (dimension)

• define the accuracy of coordinates 'UNI + GRI' 'GRID ON' (...)

• define the accuracy of circle segments 'ANG+ACC' (value)

• define a rotation angle for construction 'ANG+ACC' (value)

• individually select the construction views ( 'VIEWS' 'VIEW' (no.)), change zooming ( 'VIEWS' 'ZOOM' (factor)) and adapt the view to the screen 'VIEWS' 'AUTOFIT ON' (option).

• print the view ( 'PRINT')

Construction Commands

You can construct geometries by

• assigning material groups ( 'SET MAT')

• defining points and lines ( 'SET POINT', 'SET LINE')

• measure distances ( 'MEASURE')

• defining different shapes and creating these by defining surfaces in space or creating diago-nals ( 'BEGIN BOX', 'SET CUBE', 'BEGIN CIRCLE', 'SET CYL', 'BEGIN LINE', 'SET SPH')

• rotating circle planes and contours around an axis ( 'SET TOR', 'SET REVAX', 'MAKE REV', 'MAKE REVE')

• moving contours along a reference line ( 'MAKE SWEEP')

• checking the geometries´ surfaces and positions ( 'CHECK SEL', 'SWEEP CHECK')

• defining a cutbox ( 'SET CBF')

• rounding edges ( 'ROUND EDGE')

• combining two or more geometries using a macro ( 'MACRO', 'EMACRO')

Manipulation Commands

You can manipulate existing geometries by

• selecting, marking, copying and deleting geometries ( 'SELECT', 'MARK SEL', 'COPY SEL', 'DEL SEL')


• canceling selections ( 'UNSEL ENTITY')

• deleting selected points and edges ( 'UNDO POINT')

• moving geometries at random ( 'MOVE')

• turning and displacing contours for rotation ( 'ROT CON', 'MOVE CON')

• rotating, scaling and mirroring geometries ( 'SET AXIS', 'ROT SEL', 'SCALE SEL', 'SET MIR', 'MIR SEL')

• defining control points ( Menu 'CTRL POINT' (Options))

Support Functions

The following aids make your work easier:

• user defined settings and construction protocols (only via keyboard: e.g. 'FILE' 'EDIT PRE-RC')

• command files 'FILE' 'EDIT CMD' / 'READ CMD'

• display of information about the casting system: 'INFO' (Options)

• zoom of the default message window 'VIEWS' 'MESSAGE HISTORY'

• definition of function keys and use of text editors (only via keyboard)

1.6 Mesh Generation / 'enmeshment'

By selecting 'enmeshment' you get to the main window for calculating the mesh, 'mesh genera-tion', from where you define all further parameters. The enmeshment results are displayed in the 'calculated mesh size' window.

What is a Calculation Mesh?

A division of the geometries created in the preprocessor into calculation elements.

What to Pay Attention to?

A higher number of mesh elements increases the simulation accuracy but also the calculation time.


How is the Mesh Generated?

• The mesh is mainly generated automatically using predefined parameters. You can change these parameters ( 'STANDARD'). It is also possible to use different enmeshment param-eters for different material groups ( 'ADVANCED' for two sets of parameters, 'ADVANCED2' for three sets of parameters). You can also create a mesh automatically only ( 'AUTOMATIC').

The Parameters

• How accurately are the coordinates read from the geometry ( 'WALL THICKNESS')?

• How many times are the elements divided ( 'ACCURACY') and how small are they allowed to become ( 'ELEMENT SIZE')?

• What is the aspect ratio of neighbouring elements ( 'OPTIONS' 'SMOOTHING') and be-tween the edges of a single element ( 'OPTIONS' 'RATIO')?

Further Functions

• Automatic core generation ( 'CORE GENERATION')

• Removing materials for enmeshment

These two functions require steps in the preprocessor in advance.

• Generating the mesh for solver 5 ( 'MESH FOR SOLVER 5') (filling simulation, page 16)

Further Steps

Control the number of cells ( 'CALCULATE' window 'CALCULATED MESH SIZE').

Generate the mesh ( 'GENERATE' window 'CALCULATED MESH SIZE').

Display the mesh visually, including control points, and check it for critical areas ( 'POST-PROCESSOR' 'RESULTS' tab 'GEOMETRY' 'MESH_QUALITY', <CONTROL POINTS>).


1.7 Simulation Calculation / 'simulation'

The 'simulation' menu generally contains several entries, from which you select 'shape casting/batch production'. You perform the following definition of simulation type and simulation parame-ters successively: By activating the 'ok' button you always reach the next window.

What Can Be Simulated ?

• Filling of the mold ( 'CALCULATE FILLING')

• Cooling and solidification of the melt ( 'CALCULATE SOLIDIFICATION')

Defining Simulation Parameters

• material class / group ( 'MATERIAL DEFINITIONS', optional: 'SELECT DATA' and 'PARAMETERS')

• heat transfer ( 'HEAT TRANSFER DEFINITIONS', optional: 'SELECT DATA' and 'PA-RAMETERS')

• mold filling ( 'FILLING DEFINITIONS'). Here, three solvers are available ('USE SOLVER' 'SOLVER 3, 4, 5')

• solidification ( 'SOLIDIFICATION DEFINITIONS'). Here, four solvers are available ('USE SOLVER' 'SOLVER 1, 2, 3, 4')

• optional: batch casting ( 'CYCLE DEFINITIONS')

Prepare Results

• Prepare certain results for presentation in the postprocessor ( 'FAST POSTPROCESSING PREPARATION')

How to Start and Control the Simulation?

With an information window ( 'ONLINE JOB SIMULATION CONTROL'), from which you

• start simulation ( 'START'), stop simulation ( 'STOP') and start the simulation again ( 'RESTART')

• store simulation at any time ( 'DUMP')

• You also have a permanent overview of


• fill rate / fraction solid ( 'PERCENTAGE')

• temperature distribution ( 'ONLINE CURVES')

1.8 Presentation of Results / Postprocessor

To display results of the simulation calculation based on the geometry, select 'postprocessor' from the main menu and the entry 'on geometry'. At first, the geometry is converted into a binary ACIS file. In doing so, you can define a polygon reduction. Then you can control the result presentation easily, using tabs (constantly available) and buttons.

After the conversion, you can prepare certain results for faster presentation ( 'PREPARE FAST POSTPROCESSING').

Several functions that are explained in the following are available via small buttons and/or key shortcuts, too. With these you can also:

• move the view, zoom the view and make it fit to the main screen

• choose a wireframe presentation

• change quickly between result pictures

• choose a background color

Select Result Type

Choose ( 'RESULTS' tab) between:

• Filling simulation: temperature, velocity and pressure field ('FILLING')

• Solidification simulation: temperature, fraction liquid and fraction solid ('SOLIDIFICATION')

• Mold filling criteria functions

• Solidification criteria functions

• Tracer results ('TRACER')

Mesh Quality

Check the enmeshment of materials and control points ( 'RESULTS' tab 'GEOMETRY' 'MESH_QUALITY', <CONTROL POINTS>). Possible critical cells are highlighted with co-


lors. If there are critical cells that are specifically related to solver 5, these are shown in an individual color.

User Results

• You can combine the results automatically created by the program with the help of an expres-sion editor and thus create user-defined results ( 'RESULTS' tab 'USER RESULTS'). These user results are stored and processed within special datasets.

Color Scale

Select the structure / material legend for the graphic display, limit it to certain value ranges and define a coordinate system if necessary ( 'SCALES' tab).

Material Group

Select the part of the casting system to be displayed ( 'MATERIAL' tab).

Tracer Particels

• Using control points you can observe the movement of simulated particles within the melt ( 'TRACER' tab).

Curves

• You can display filling and solidification results (amongst others) with the help of curves ( 'CURVES' tab or activate in control bar)

Define Views

You can:

• display certain materials and results on the mesh ( 'MESH' tab)

• set the illumination of the presentation ( 'LIGHT' tab)

• use several kinds of cutting planes to define where and how you view the inside of the casting system ( 'CLIPPING' tab or activate in control bar)

• display selected geometry areas transparently and thus also visualize air entrapments ( 'X-RAY' tab or activate in control bar ( 'TRAPPED AIR')


• display distortions ( 'DISTORTION' tab or activate in control bar)

• change the perspective from which you view your casting system ( 'ROTATE' tab)

• display a rotation given by the casting process ( 'PROCROT' tab)

• build up the result display in layers ( 'SLICING' tab or activate in control bar)

• display velocity vectors for filling results ( 'VECTOR' tab or activate in control bar)

• save and reuse views that you have defined once before ( 'VIEWS' tab)

Parameter Variations

• With the help of a special control element, you can automatically vary some of the views func-tions online and generate images of these variations.

Animations

You can:

• create and store pictures for animations and AVI movies (Windows) ( 'IMAGES' tab)

• present these animations ( 'IMAGES' tab 'PLAYER' 'IMAGE VIEWER')

• create fast animations that are stored in your system's memory and can be viewed in the main window ('ANIMATION' tab or activate in control bar)

Printing and Saving

You can:

• print results directly from the postprocessor or

• save them in automatically created directories ( 'PRINT' tab).

Export

• You can export the geometry that is currently shown in the main window, e.g. to an STL file ( 'PROJECT' 'EXPORT').


1.9 Databases / 'database'

By selecting 'database' you get to the database main window, from which you administrate the data.

To work with these data, buttons in dialogue fields and menu entries are available at several lo-cations of the program. With these, you can directly access databases and integrate data in run-ning processes, e.g. construction or simulation.

Which Databases are Available?

To ensure the availability of data for different projects and users, the following databases are dis-tinguished:

• 'MAGMA' (access for all user groups; data can be read but not modified): DATABASE MAGMA

• 'Global' (access for all user groups; data can be read and modified): DATABASE GLO-BAL

• 'User' (access for individual user; this user can read and modify data): DATABASE USER

• 'Project' (can be created for each version of a project, is located in the directory of the corre-sponding version) DATABASE PROJECT (Name).

The different MAGMASOFT® databases

• contain all data needed for simulation (e.g. material data, heat transfer files, filter materials, geometry elements etc.)

• save time and effort, since a lot of manual input can be replaced by database entries.

• can be adapted to individual requirements.

• can be protected against unwanted changes

You can invoke existing data from a database as well as add newly created data to the database, e.g. geometry elements. These can be invoked at any time.
