Casting Benchmark Manual

Download the Casting Benchmark Manual to learn more about benchmark and verification tests.

The Casting Benchmark Manual is a PDF that is available for download from the Altair Help Center.

It is a standalone PDF that presents objectives, methods, and results for the following benchmark and verification tests:

• Temperature analysis during solidification using a constant heat transfer rate
• Temperature analysis during solidification using a variable heat transfer rate
• Prediction of shrinkage pore volume fraction using the Niyama criterion; WCB steel alloy
• Validation tests for shrinkage defect prediction in cast iron samples
• Thermal cup test
• Die filling in gravity die casting
• Plunging jet test
