Learn to use Inspire Cast with our interactive tutorials.
Create 2D sketches, surfaces, and solids with construction history and variables.
Designate and analyze casting parts, set gravity direction and mold opening direction, define runner system, and configure casting components.
Define the parameters for a basic, gravity, high pressure, or low pressure casting process.
Choose whether to run jobs in sequence or in parallel.
Define and run a filling analysis, solidification analysis, deformation analysis, trimming analysis, or a combination.
View the status of the current run, as well runs for the current model that have not yet been viewed. To see all past runs, you need to view the run history.
View, sort, open, and delete past runs for the current and previous models.
Review the results of a casting analysis.
Use the Animation Toolbar that appears at the bottom of the modeling window to animate and record results.
Generate a file whose geometry compensates for expected deformation. The finished product will deform from the compensated geometry into the designed geometry. This tool is available after you have run an analysis.
Generate PPT or PDF reports from analysis results. The Report tools are available after you have run an analysis.
Download the Casting Benchmark Manual to learn more about benchmark and verification tests.
Evaluate designs by using geometric variables and applying a design-of-experiments (DOE) or optimization method. We recommend fully constraining your sketch when sketch variables are used in the design exploration.
