As a part cools, uneven temperature distributions create internal stresses. If a design features mass accumulations or sharp transitions in wall thickness, these areas become prime targets for buckling and fracturing.

I-Flow 3D Cast Advanced is a specialized software package that utilizes advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element methods to simulate the casting process. The software allows users to predict and analyze various aspects of the casting process, including fluid flow, heat transfer, and solidification.

The module specifically addresses two defect classes:

is a specialized Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solver built on the TruVOF (Volume of Fluid) method. The Advanced tier adds:
