Finite Solutions, Inc. and Casting Solutions Pty Ltd. are pleased to announce an exciting new seminar for producers and users of iron castings. AND Iron Castings: Gating, Feeding, Defect Analysis and Simulation A Practical Approach to Designing Gating and Feeding Systems for the Production of High-Quality Iron Castings May 19-21, 2015 in Fairborn(Dayton), OH Are

The secret to transferring the material database from one computer to another is, first, to open the "Utilities" folder on the machine which contains the "good" database, i.e., the one which contains the material data that you want to transfer to the other machine.   To do this, start SOLIDCast and load any model. Hold

 “Could not find file… SimStatus.TMP” A few users have reported errors using the Simulation Results Viewer in SOLIDCast 8.3.0. During the loading of the utility, this message appears. The program closes after the dialog box is closed:   Clicking “Send Error Report” will notify Finite Solutions about the error, and supply us with diagnostic information

SOLIDCast™ Version Update Documentation Changes and Updates Through Version 8.3.0 November 18, 2014 Project Results Viewer – A new 64 bit program that provides stunning new graphics capability for display of simulation results! All previous plotting methods have been enhanced, and the ‘memory leak’ error in previous versions of the iso-surface plot has been eliminated.

The Simulation Results Viewer in version 8.3 combines the functionality of four of SOLIDCast’s existing plot types into a single application, using a modern user interface better suited to today’s operating systems and users. Compared to the SOLIDCast model builder, the way you interact with the Results Viewer is different. This includes the presentation of

  The list below details the behavior of the Simulation Results Viewer when given keyboard commands (i.e. CTRL + 1, CTRL + U, etc). Gesture combinations which have no effect are not listed. Front (YZ) View — CTRL + F Back (-YZ) View — CTRL + B   Top (XY) View — CTRL + U

The list below details the behavior of the Simulation Results Viewer when given mouse gesture input (i.e. clicking, dragging). Gesture combinations which have no effect are not listed. Click and Drag : Rotate. If the right-mouse button is clicked with the cursor over a portion of the model, the rotation will be around that point.

In the upcoming weeks, we will be releasing version 8.3 of the SOLIDCast software suite. There have been a few bug fixes and the addition of one new feature which will permit makes use of new graphics technologies to bring you improvements in how you can visualize simulation results.

SOLIDCast™ Version Update Documentation Changes and Updates Through Version 8.2.0++ July 20, 2012   Gating Design Wizard fix – There was a condition in the Horizontal portion of the Gating Design Wizard where gate sizes were being calculated incorrectly when the second and third numbers in the Gating Ratio were different. This has been corrected.
