Objetivo The tools produced were: 1. A Castbook: an electronical 'book'with background knowledge on provessoptimisation, material testing and description of casting errors respectively solving reocurrence of same 2. Inicast: pressure die casting engineering rules and calculation of machineparameters 3. HeatCool: thermal-engineering calculations and design rules for temperingsystems 4 FuzzyCast: optimisation method of the pressure die casting process itself after first delivery of the die.This Soft-Ware is available on CD-Rom through either: A the Steinbeis Transferzentrum Arbeitsgemeinschaft Metallgusz in Aalen - Beethovenstrasse 1 Fax 00-49-7361-9274-99 B Centrum for Produktietechniek in 5201 CZ 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands, PO Box 70577 and the fax no. 00-31-73-6441949. The innovative aspects of this project resulted in:1. Application of mathematical concepts like fuzzy-logic to describe the influences of process parameter alterations on quality characteristics.2. Utilizing thermo-elements build into the dies in order to unambiguously identify the 3D temperature patterns in the die3. Low-cost data aquisition equipment to enable reproduction of process parameters after delay times and change of peripheral equipment or casting machines.The tools are developed to be used by:a. foundries, b. die makers and c. die designers Ámbito científico natural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftware Programa(s) FP3-CRAFT - Specific programme of research and technological development in the field of industrial and materials technologies - CRAFT -, 1990-1994 Tema(s) Data not available Convocatoria de propuestas Data not available Régimen de financiación CSC - Cost-sharing contracts Coordinador Centrum voor Produktietechniek Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección 3C,Reitscheweg 3C 5201 CZ 's-Hertogenbosch Países Bajos Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos Participantes (1) Ordenar alfabéticamente Ordenar por aportación de la UE Ampliar todo Contraer todo Rena BV Países Bajos Aportación de la UE Sin datos Dirección 5993 ZG Maasbree Ver en el mapa Coste total Sin datos
