What is Altair Inspire Cast?

Altair Inspire Cast software (formerly Click2Cast) is a fast, easy, accurate and affordable casting simulation environment focused on creating high-quality components with greater profitability through a highly intuitive user experience. It's the only tool that caters to beginners and experts, from product designers to foundry engineers. From the initial phase of the project, users can visualize typical casting defects such as air trapping, shrinkage porosity, cold closures, mold degradation and correcting them. Guided process models offer 5 easy steps to simulate gravity matrix, gravity sand, investment, high pressure, low pressure casting, and slope leakage.

Why inspire cast?

Design for castings

Radically new designs in combination with new materials require designers to evaluate their designs in advance. Get involved early with Altair Inspire Cast to simulate potential issues in advance with minimal training or no training. As the process is improved, the ability to investigate and optimize the process makes Altair Inspire Cast with a unique value throughout the product development cycle, from initial design to manufacturing.

Minimize process complexity

It is typical in the industry to first design a process and then simulate it. Altair Inspire Cast reverses this concept, helping users evolve the process together with their ideas. You can start padding with virtualized ports that will guide you through porosity areas and correct risers to compensate. Gravity, matrix, high pressure, low pressure, investment and casting with inclination, all have guided models for refinement.

Improve quality and profitability

State of the art, the biphasic formulation of finite elements allows to capture the filling and solidification process with great precision. This helps in the construction of high quality castings with high margins.
