MAGMA ECONOMICS: Focus on Sustainability and Profitability
MAGMA ECONOMICS offers an innovative perspective within MAGMASOFT® that allows users to quantitatively evaluate the economic and ecological impact of different process variants directly in the software. Based on already defined geometries, materials and process data as well as simulation results, MAGMA ECONOMICS calculates and compares in detail costs, energy consumption and CO₂ emissions across different scenarios.
Customizable templates for common materials and processes incorporate specific cost and emission factors. This enables a detailed analysis of resource consumption and both manufacturing and component costs throughout the entire casting process – from mold and tool preparation, to the pouring process, and even potential machining.
With MAGMA ECONOMICS, users can adjust process parameters individually and analyze different scenarios without investing additional simulation time. This supports informed decision-making, covering technical requirements and both economic and ecological goals.
This perspective is fully integrated into MAGMASOFT® and requires no additional modules or licenses. It also fits seamlessly into the "Autonomous Engineering" functionalities for optimization and virtual design of experiments. MAGMA ECONOMICS thus enables the simultaneous evaluation of quality, productivity, project costs and carbon footprint for all processes and applications.
Highlights:
MAGMASOFT® 6.1 – Efficient Optimization of Processes and Profitability
With new functionalities and extensive enhancements, MAGMASOFT® 6.1 offers comprehensive support for optimizing low pressure die casting processes and facilitates the design of die-cast parts. A specially developed process module for rheocasting and thixomolding processes adds numerous new options for users in core production and continuous casting.
In addition, the newly introduced ECONOMICS Perspective enables, for the first time, a quantitative evaluation and optimization of both costs and CO₂ emissions for all simulation projects, improving both the profitability and the sustainability of all applications.
MAGMASOFT® is available for all suitable current operating systems such as Linux and Windows. MAGMASOFT® can be used on multi-processor computers or massively parallel on cluster computers.
