Arena-flow simulates the blowing/shooting and curing of sand cores and molds. Arena-flow is trusted by OEMs, foundries, and core/pattern shops to complement metal flow and solidification software, resulting in optimized processes and cores that are right the first time!
Arena-flow is purpose-built for sand cores and molds, not an add-on to metal flow and solidification software or general purpose CFD.
Simulates the full particle size distribution and other discrete properties for each particle species (sand, mixtures, additives, manufactured materials, etc.).
Multi-phase physics formulation captures air dragging sand and sand impacting air flow.
A foundry faced scrap losses from low density in thin-walled waterjacket cores of aluminum engine blocks. Arena-flow simulations pinpointed and resolved the issue via simple tooling changes, enabling consistently reliable core quality from the first production run.
