Esi Procast Tutorial

[Eliz Mettert]

VisualCrash PAM: Advanced Seat Positioner The objective of this tutorial is to propose an easy way to define a seat configuration including all possible seat movements and provide an easy option to modify by taking care of all attached connections.

Wax Injection (for wax patterns) is very similar to the HPDC process, however, the registered pressure inside of the cavity while filling is much lower.

This is caused by the much different properties of wax compared to any metal alloy material.

When modelling wax injection, the user...

The focus of this training is to introduce the usage of the ProCAST's low frequency electromagnetic edge element solver (EMAG) inside Visual Environment.

The main features of the module are presented while describing the main fields of application.

Two examples are included, whic...

This document introduces the general usage of Visual Cast for ProCAST

This document focuses on analysis setup. Therefore, there is no meshing information.

The focus is made on model set up. The handling of geometry is not shown.

The goal of this tutorial is to show the different approaches for modelling Continuous Casting process for :

Single motion : strand has a single translation or a single curvature deployment

Multiple motions : strand has a combination of translations , curvatures or a mix of them

I don't know why it took me so long to try my hand at making a castle cake. Maybe because the occasion never arises. Nah, if I really wanted to make one, I'll find a reason to make it. My nephew's birthday was coming up and he wanted a castle cake. After a bit of hesitation, I said yes to making one. Looking into his pleading eyes, how can I say no?

Ah... I think it's those turrets. For me, those turrets seems so daunting to make. I checked out a lot of castle cakes on the internet and I find different ways of making them. One popular way of making the turrets is by using ice cream cones. I've seen it made with the flat bottom cones and the pointy sugar cones.

I used the pointy sugar ice cream cones. I collect (among other things) the hollow carton tubes from rolls of paper towel, parchment paper and aluminum foil. I save them just in case...of projects like these. ;)

For this tutorial, I have simplified the steps on how to make a castle cake. Since the cake was for a boy, I used monochromatic shades of grey. You can easily make it a girly princess castle cake by using shades of soft pink and purple.

If you want it easy and skip the step of making your own turrets, there are ready made kits that are available. For a castle made for a princess, the Disney Princess Castle Signature Cake Kit is perfect for that. For a more formal castle fit for a queen (or king), the Wilton Romantic Castle Cake Set is the choice.

2 frosted cakes - 7" and 10" round

fondant

black food colour

ice cream cone

carton tubes (from empty paper towels, foil etc.)

1" round cutter

oval cutter

square cutter (1/2" and 2")

ruler

pizza cutter

MAKING THE TURRETSThe turrets can be made ahead of time. Use a carton tube and cut to the height you want the turrets to be. For this project, I cut 2 tubes to 6" long and one tube to 4". The 4" tube will go on the top and the other two will on the lower tiers of the cake.Mix a little bit of black food color into the fondant to make a gray. I wante to have a marble effect on the fondant. To achieve this, just simply not mix the color all the way thru.Cover the tubes with fondant. But before covering with fondant, cover the tubes with plastic wrap. This will prevent the tubes from absorbing moisture and therefore becoming soft.

Roll out the fondant and cut a rectangle. Moisten the tube with water as this will help the fondant to stick to it. Place the tube on top of the fondant and slowly roll the fondant around the tube. When the whole tube is covered cut the fondant with a pizza cutter.

Color the fondant with three shades of gray. Cut out circles using the 1" round cutter. Moisten the under side of the circle using a brush dipped in water. stick the circle to the strip of fondant on the cone. Alternate the colors of the fondant.

Stack the 7" cake on top of the 10" cake using cake dowels on the bottom for support. Make sure that the cakes are well chilled before decorating.Roll out and cut a long strip of the darkest fondant to about 2" in height. Using a 2" square cutter, cut the top part of the strip on every 2" interval. To make it easier, I use the same cutter to measure the space. Carefully place on the top part of the cakes.To make the entrance door to the castle, cut out a half oval with the same height as the cake. Take small pieces of fondant and roll into a ball then flatten it with your thumb. Place around the door to make it look like stones.Use an oval cutter to cut out some windows for the castle. Cut the ovals in half and place on the sides of the cake and turrets.Cut out little squares using the 1/2" square cutter and use them to border the cake.

The MatIC code includes an extension of the cellular automata technique to include solute diffusion through combination with a finite difference solver, larger-scale simulation results by coupling to external simulation programs, and soon will include microscale fluid flow and heat transfer in the public version.

This 3-dimensional MatIC code is able to predict microstructural features of the solidification including dendritic morphology, spacing, grain structure, concentration profile, pores, casting defects, etc.

The MatIC computer program is an open source project written in the C programming language. The latest version of the source code is available under a license similar to that used by the Berkeley Software Distribution (the "modified BSD license"). A manual and a selection of tutorials are also available for download, to help you get started.

That means you can use the software as you wish, but we do request you cite our papers where appropriate. I.e. for academic purposes, the published articles describing the work should be cited as recommended in the list of suitable references for each sub-component of the software.

At present there is no official support for this open source release. Suggestions for collaboration, sponsoring of students or visitors to improve or adapt the program, or other ideas are always welcome.
