AutoCAST uses geometric reasoning for automating the design of casting methods elements – cores, mold cavity layout, feeders, feed aids and gating channels. Fast and intelligent simulation technology is employed to visualize mold filling and casting solidification in near-real time.
Blow extrusion of plastic film. The manufacture of plastic film for products such as food packages, shopping bags, and continuous sheeting is achieved using a blown film line. [5] This process is the same as a regular extrusion process up until the die. There are three main types of dies used in this process: annular (or crosshead), spider, and ...
The coating window is a multivariable map of key process parameters, describing the range over which they can be applied together to achieve a defect-free film. Understanding the coating window behavior of a typical slot-die process enables operators to observe defects in a slot-die coated layer and intuitively determine a course of action for ...
Hirt is known for having pioneered the volume of fluid method (VOF) for tracking and locating the free surface or fluid-fluid interface. T Hirt [1] [2] left LANL and founded Flow Science in 1980 to develop CFD software for industrial and scientific applications using the VOF method . [3] The company is located in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
The polymer solution casting process utilizes a mandrel, or inner diameter mold, that is immersed in a tank of polymer solution or liquid plastic that has been specifically engineered for the process. Due to a combination of thermal and frictional properties, the polymer solution then forms a thin film around the mold. [1]

CFD software, as any software, can be developed in various "realms": Business; Academic; Open Source. As far as CFD is concerned, a thorough discussion of these software development paths can be found in the statement by Zaleski. [14] Gerris was distributed as free and open-source software right from the onset of the project. [15] [16]
Tape casting (also called doctor blading, knife coating, and shank shifting) [1] is a casting process used in the manufacture of thin ceramic tapes and sheets from ceramic slurry. [2] The ceramic slurry is cast in a thin layer onto a flat surface and then dried and sintered. [3] It's a part of powder metallurgy. [4]: 167
