Quick Casting Simulation on Fusion 360

Job ID: 40511015

Budget: €8 – €30 EUR

I have a project that needs to be completed within 5 days.

Project 1 – Casting Simulation (Fusion 360)

The CAD model is already created. The remaining work includes the complete casting design, simulation, optimization, and final report.

Required tasks:

1. Review and finalize the CAD model.

- Verify fillets, holes, and solid geometry.

2. Casting Blank Design

- Select and justify the Parting Plane.
- Apply a Draft Angle (approximately 2°).
- Decide which holes will be cast using cores and which will be machined later.
- Evaluate fillet radii and wall thickness variations.

3. Material Selection

- Select an appropriate casting material and justify the choice.

4. Pattern Design

- Apply shrinkage allowance.
- Define core prints if required.

5. Thermal Analysis

- Divide the component into thermal zones.
- Identify critical sections and hot spots.
- Calculate or estimate thermal modulus where necessary.

6. Riser Design

- Select riser location.
- Determine riser dimensions.
- Verify feeding capability.

7. Gating System Design

- Design Sprue, Runner, and Gate.
- Justify gate location and dimensions.

8. Casting Simulation in Fusion 360

- Filling Analysis.
- Temperature Analysis.
- Defect Analysis (air traps, shrinkage porosity, cold shuts, etc.).

9. Optimization

- Create Study 1 (initial design).
- Create Study 2 (modified design by changing gate/riser configuration).
- Compare both studies.

10. Final Report

- Introduction.
- Component Description.
- Material Selection.
- Parting Plane.
- Draft Angle.
- Core Selection.
- Pattern Design.
- Thermal Analysis.
- Riser Design.
- Gating System Design.
- Filling Analysis.
- Temperature Analysis.
- Defect Analysis.
- Study 1.
- Study 2.
- Comparison.
- Conclusion.

Deliverables:

- Fusion 360 model with casting design.
- Screenshots of Parting Plane, Riser, Gating System.
- Filling, Temperature, and Defect simulation results.
- Study 1 vs Study 2 comparison.
- Complete final report with technical explanations and conclusions.
