What's New in MAGMAlpdc & MAGMAwheel?
With MAGMASOFT® 6.1, users benefit from comprehensive innovations in the simulation of low pressure die casting processes. The integrated new solver technologies and the optimized mesh generation with composite and TAG meshes (True Adaptive Geometry Meshes), which have already proven themselves in core production, high pressure die casting and permanent mold casting, enable a more precise and efficient mapping of complex casting processes.
The newly introduced 'Heat-up Phase' functionality supports the preheating of permanent molds by integrating electric heating cartridges with PI control and Variotherm temperature control.
In addition, the new 'Tracer' results provide deeper insights into the temperature, velocity, pressure and path length of the melt. A new 'Air' result also facilitates the identification and evaluation of air entrapments in the casting.
For the counter-pressure casting (CPC) process, a special enhancement is now available, allowing the accurate definition and simulation of process parameters such as counter-pressure and pressure difference. This enables a detailed analysis of the influence on both feeding and mechanical properties.

MAGMASOFT® 6.1 – Efficient Optimization of Processes and Profitability
With new functionalities and extensive enhancements, MAGMASOFT® 6.1 offers comprehensive support for optimizing low pressure die casting processes and facilitates the design of die-cast parts. A specially developed process module for rheocasting and thixomolding processes adds numerous new options for users in core production and continuous casting.
In addition, the newly introduced ECONOMICS Perspective enables, for the first time, a quantitative evaluation and optimization of both costs and CO₂ emissions for all simulation projects, improving both the profitability and the sustainability of all applications.
MAGMASOFT® is available for all suitable current operating systems such as Linux and Windows. MAGMASOFT® can be used on multi-processor computers or massively parallel on cluster computers.
