Full Magazine Simulation, Pressure and Sand Ratio
This video demonstrates the air-sand motion computed by Arena-flow for a magazine used to fill multiple sand cores. As the magazine pressurizes, the air drags sand into the core.
Shell Sand, Thin-Walled Jacket Core
This video shows the cope and drag views of a thin-walled jacket core made using the shell sand / warm box module of Arena-flow.
Cold Box Core Blowing, Cylinder Head Water Jacket
Arena-flow by CPFD Software simulates the blowing of industrial sand cores, and this video highlights a cold box core scenario of a cylinder head water jacket.
Three Foundry Case Studies on Simulation Software
Fondrémy Inc., in collaboration with LAEMPE REICH, used Arena-flow to improve casting quality and reduce tooling costs for a complex water pump housing. By simulating sand core shooting and gassing, the team minimized prototyping, accelerated production, and transitioned to a high-yield, vertically poured molding process.
Vertical Blowing of a Greensand Mold
This video demonstrates the blowing of a green sand mold half on a vertical molding line. The sand initially enters at a higher velocity before slowing down as the mold fills.
Core Blowing and Related Core Density
This video shows a comparison between two iterations of core layouts.
Sand Filling and Airflow in Jacket Core
This Arena-flow simulation visualizes the sand-core filling process for a Jacket Core using the Shell Module.
Sand Speed, Density, and Pressure Dynamics in Jacket Core
This Arena-flow simulation models a Jacket Core using the Shell Module, focusing on sand velocity, bulk density, cavity pressure, and fill-time behavior during the core blowing process.
Internal Compaction and Flux Analysis in Jacket Core
This Arena-flow simulation provides an internal view of sand compaction and particle movement for a Jacket Core using the Shell Module.
