Now let’s see what the PQ2 diagram of a press is and why it is essential to understand how to correctly size the mould. What is the PQ2 diagram? The PQ2 diagram of the press graphically expresses how the injection unit, that is the hydraulic system...
The Castle suite of PiQ², simulation software for die casting that pays particular attention to the automotive world, in particular for OEMs and Tier 1s, differs from the competitors for its constant commitment to the search for innovative solutions deriving from the...
In this post we are going to analyse the functions of CastleMIND, the software that allows for the optimisation of high pressure die casting (HPDC) mould design and mould manufacturing. CastleMIND: the module dedicated to mould optimisation CastleMIND is the...
The relevance of hybrid mesh and dual phase for fluid dynamics simulation As already dealt with in the post Die Casting Simulation Software: PiQ2’s Castle, Castle is a software developed by PiQ2 expressly for the design and the fluid dynamics simulation of cold and...
The mission of Castle In a previous post we told the story of Castle, describing how the project arose from the synergy between theory and practice. In this post it’s analyzed the modular structure of Castle, explaining why such an innovative solution was chosen...
Castle and its history: links to the territory Castle is the die casting process simulation software created by PiQ2 and born in 2011. However, its history begins well before 2011. The project, in fact, has its roots in the metallurgical vocation of the Brescia area...
