made to make it possible to predict various casting defects (such as misrun, shrinkage, gas
entrapment) for various casting processes, casting alloys and molding materials.

aLost Foam Casting
In the lost foam casting process in JSCAST, multiple
foamed-resin materials (or pattern materials) with
different gasification properties and material properties
are sometimes used to control mold filling patterns
(or change the shape of the melt front), and
Consequently to prevent casting defects such as
cold shuts and residues,
JSCAST makes it possible to set simulation conditions
loser to real situations,and to see the effects of
multiple usage of pattern materials with different
properties onmold filing patterns and formations
of casting defects.
In the left picture, the molten metal is poured onto the two foams having the same density in the mold cavity.
In the right picture, two foams which have different densities are used in the mold cavity.
You can simulate the different behavior of the foams with different densities you use in the foundry with JSCAST.
Lost Foam Casting (Mold Filling and Solidification)
‘Simulates how the foam pattern is replaced by liquid metal during mold filing
Considers the effects of vacuum suction and permeability of sand mold and coating,
Helps users to decrease flow-related defects and optimize casting designs.

esJMatPro in JSCAST
JMatPro® is software developed by Sente Software, UK to calculate the physical and
thermodynamic properties and mechanical properties of metal alloys from chemical
components.
For the first time in the world, JMatPro@ is integrated into the JSCAST Casting Simulation.
As of version 9, JSCAST can now provide different analysis results based on different
composition values from JMatPro®.
