Simulation based casting is used in modern metal casting industries to a great extent.A number of software are available for casting simulations which allow methods engineers to model and verify a casting design to maximize yield and minimize defects.However, selection of casting simulation software is critical and necessitates acquiring the knowledge of commercially available software.A comparison amongst the selected casting simulation software has been done in this study.In total, eight software products are selected with a mix of both high end and low end casting simulation packages.The software tools are compared in terms of casting processes simulated, add-on modules (if any), solution methods used, defects prediction, typical clients/users, and advanced simulation capabilities.The results of this study provide a guide for casting industry personnel to select a casting simulation software based on their requirements.It is concluded that need-based selection of casting simulation software is a must to ensure high benefit-cost ratio of simulation based casting.
