. Simulation Process
ADSTEFAN is casting simulation software developed by Hitachi Corporation Ltd, Japan. This was used to
simulate fluid flow and solidification process for three gating designs. Casting simulation and result analysis was done to
predict the molten metal solidification behavior inside the mold. The casting component with gating system was imported in
STL (Stereo lithography) format to the ADSTEFAN software and meshing of the model was done in the pre-processor mesh
