About CAPlite
Capture the power of natural solidification thermal analyses within an affordable and capable software package. CAPlite features a step-by-step graphical interface, making it ideal even for those not experienced in casting software. Starting with a CAD design, CAPlite guides you through every step, from meshing to post-processing. Natural solidifications are effective thermal simulation that gives results within minutes. From die casting to sand casting, CAPlite can identify problems for all casting types. The simplicity of natural solidifications enables them to augment your entire casting operation at every stage: design risers, gating, and chill configurations to identify defects, or simply help visualize the otherwise abstract process of solidification. CAPlite comes with the power of natural solidifications plus more to give you the tools you need to improve your castings at a fraction of the cost.

AnyCasting
AnyCasting Software is a top-tier casting simulation program, for over 20 years. Currently, we are working with companies manufacturing automobiles, ships, heavy material industries, and electronic manufacturing companies having sold over 600 copies worldwide solving and providing technical consulting for projects over 470 times all over the world. AnyCasting provides stress analysis, which can help users simulate deformation and heat and stress analysis. It also provides automatic mold designing while being able to help users create the most optimal mold design. Some of the satisfied customers domestically include Hyundai Motors, Hyundai Heavy Industries, Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, and more. Easily identify the location of gas defects caused by the isolation of air during the filling and flow process of the melt. Our software locates gas defects by comparing the pressure of air versus the pressure of the melt.

PoligonSoft
Professional tools for modeling and optimizing metal casting processes with the ability to predict the formation of defects in cast parts.
- Filling Dynamics
- Macro and Microporosity
- Residual Stresses
- Deformations and Warping
- Cracks (Hot and Cold)
- Hydrostatic Pressure
- Mold Wear
- Slag Formation
PoligonSoft provides reliable simulations that prevent waste and costly redesigns, allowing manufacturers to "get it right" the first time.
The core of PoligonSoft includes three calculation systems: hydrodynamic, thermal, and stress. Along with a set of additional options, it allows the simulation of all traditional casting technologies and many special processes.
At PoligonSoft, all stages of the casting production process can be sequentially simulated: mold heating, mold filling with molten mass, solidification on the bench or in the thermostat, extraction of the cast part from the mold, cutting of the feeding system and risers, etc.

THERCAST
The software makes it possible to quickly and accurately analyze your manufacturing process, from the initial casting to the end of solidification. Thus, you anticipate manufacturing defects allowing you to produce high-quality components and reduce the prototyping phase. In extremely competitive and ever-changing markets, simulation is now an essential step in the development cycle of high-value cast parts. THERCAST® offers a complete and modular solution which will be able to provide you with valuable support for the production of ingots, castings or even continuous casting. THERCAST® integrates liquid/solid thermomechanical coupling involved in material transformation. With this implementation, you can study all types of phenomena: ladle and tundish flow, primary and secondary cooling, deformation in contact with rollers and spray-induced cooling. THERCAST® offers a multilingual graphical interface and a business-oriented work environment.

ProCAST
Your first off-tool parts are finally available, only for you to realize they contain pinholes, shrinkage, or hot spots. With your deadline staring you in the face, you can either ship the parts and undoubtedly deal with an unhappy customer or go back to the design stage and try to identify the problem, correct it, and hope it is finally free from defects. And because the trial period in the casting development schedule is underestimated, it is imperative to get your gating design to be robust against process variations before arriving at the testing phase. With ESI ProCAST you can cast your parts right the first time, every time –meeting your deadlines and never wasting money on scrap parts or late redesigns. For decades, customers have relied upon ProCAST as their go-to tool for the casting basics – filling, solidification, and porosity prediction. With its finite element technology, it also predicts complex issues like deformations and residual stresses.
