Abstract

With this work the authors want to show how is possible to approach improved simulations to the results of the user's plants giving a good solution for the increasing needs of accuracy. In this sense, the authors want to present an innovative experience concerning to a recently finished R&D project, which involved the development of two solutions using and complementing a commercial simulation software. The first of them is an improvement of the conventional simulations based on the use of the inverse modelling and the second one consists of a new 'ad hoc' tool developed especially for the customer. Once the project was concluded, as planned, the 'new current' simulations resulted well correlated with the plant. The casting process involved in the project is the investment casting process or lost wax casting process.
