Inspire Cast is an analysis tool for virtual testing, validation, correction and optimization of casting designs.
Walk through the five steps needed to define and run a casting analysis.
Learn the basics of the Inspire Cast user interface.
Use the Systems tool to create and apply user-defined coordinate systems to loads, supports, and displacements.
Create and assign variables to parametrize a model. This allows you to quickly iterate and compare design concepts by tweaking the values of the variables.
View a list of glossary terms and definitions.
Learn keyboard shortcuts and mouse controls for common operations.
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.
Run a casting analysis to minimize defects and prevent manufacturing problems.
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.
