What is Altair Inspire Cast™?

Altair Inspire Cast™ is a powerful, user-friendly casting simulation software designed to streamline the entire casting process from design to production. Formerly known as Click2Cast, this solution allows designers, foundry engineers, and manufacturers to visualise and avoid common casting defects like air entrapment, shrinkage porosity, and cold shuts early in the design phase.

With an easy-to-follow five-step guided process, users can simulate a variety of casting methods, including gravity die, gravity sand, investment, high-pressure, low-pressure, and tilt pouring. Its intuitive user interface, automatic mesh generation, and simple geometry import process make Inspire Cast accessible to both beginners and advanced users alike.

Altair Inspire Cast™ enables faster decision-making, reduces prototyping costs, and ensures that cast components are manufactured right the first time. Its concurrent processing capabilities allow for faster analysis times, making it a valuable tool for accelerating production timelines and improving profitability.

Avoid Casting Defects

Prevent common casting defects such as air entrapment, shrinkage porosity, and cold shuts before they occur. Altair Inspire Cast™ features a mesh generator that simplifies the geometry import process, saving time and avoiding the headaches often associated with traditional CAD repair.

With real-time feedback on casting quality, users can address potential flaws at the earliest design stage, reducing downstream corrections and saving valuable time and resources.

Improve Your Casting Design Process

Enhance your entire casting process with Altair Inspire Cast’s five-step workflow. From geometry import to final analysis, the user-centric interface makes it simple for both novice and expert users to achieve optimal casting designs.

Take advantage of concurrent processing to significantly reduce simulation times, allowing multiple scenarios to be tested in minutes. The software is equipped with built-in templates for multiple casting methods, including gravity die, investment, tilt pouring, high-pressure, and low-pressure casting. This level of flexibility supports a wide range of industry needs.
