WRAFTS is a computer simulation program developed to model transient fluid flow. Using WRAFTS, foundry process engineers can evaluate a wide variety of process parameters such as gating design, inlet flow rates, sand permeability, and vent locations. These parameters can be systematically varied to optimize productivity, while improving product quality and reducing scrap. The finite element method is used for optimum compatibility with the discrete representations usually employed in structural design analysis. WRAFTS has acquired a reputation for accurate and efficient simulations of mold filling transients. Such simulations can provide valuable insight into the majority of foundry metal casting operations.
