NovaFlow&Solid
The innovative casting process simulation tool that helps you work faster, easier and achieve more accurate castings.
NovaFlow&Solid can simulate most commercial casting methods, such as gravity sand and permanent mold, low pressure die casting, high pressure die casting, lost wax method, tilt pouring, counter gravity casting, centrifugal casting and lost foam process.
Casting materials possible to simulate are (provided that data exists or can be retrieved): gray- and ductile iron, steel alloys, aluminum alloys, copper-, zinc and magnesium-based alloys, super alloys like nickel or chrome-based and titanium.
The system can use all types of mold and core materials that are commercial on the market and also exothermic materials, chills and both foam and extruded filters. The meshing method enables the simulation of real extruded filters and would also with foam filters if the 3D models existed.
The timesaving comes from switching mesh in the simulation and during filling in several steps. Where the sections are thick-walled you use a bigger mesh resolution and for sensitive areas you use a finer mesh.
In version 6.67 of NovaFlow&Solid (released June 2025), powerful new tools and enhancements take casting simulation to the next level – helping you work faster, easier, and with greater precision. Compressed auto-reports make documentation lighter and easier to share, while new tooltips speed up learning by providing instant guidance. New simulation features boost both realism and efficiency – including gradual temperature changes for heat treatment, adjustable slag visualization, and mold sand mixing for more accurate results.
Users working with HPD and cycling simulations get better accuracy thanks to improved mesh handling and squeeze pin behavior. NovaStress users can now export node cloud data over time, streamlining post-processing and integration with FEM tools. New parameter optimization and solidification evaluation options give you even more control over your casting quality.
NovaFlow&Solid can make your casting production more green by letting you investigate and be guided how to increase your yield and optimize your production process. This will help you save energy, material and eventually use less of the resources on our planet. We believe in “Every casting count™”, which means that we should work together for a future where casting defects does not exist and you make good business with a good conscience.
