APA: Introducing Arena-flow by CPFD – April 8, 2026

CPFD Software is thrilled to introduce Arena-flow to the Siemens APA. Arena-flow by CPFD is custom foundry software that simulates the blowing/shooting and curing of sand cores and molds. It is trusted by OEMs, foundries, core shops, tooling providers, and equipment suppliers to to complement metal flow and solidification software, resulting in optimized processes and cores that are right the first time. Arena-flow replaces trial-and-error with virtual testing to capture, retain, and disseminate core making knowledge, understand and eliminate core and core-quality-related casting scrap, optimize cycle times, minimize dosage, increase uptime, extend tool life, reduce energy requirements, and ultimately cut costs. APA-enabled Altair customers can now enjoy instant-access to Arena-flow, expanding Altair’s modeling capabilities and directly complementing existing foundry digital tools.
