It noted that the side gating system shows good cast quality when compared with the top gating system. The benefits of casting simulation through the process and bottlenecks with their corresponding solutions were identified. The flywheel simulation sand-casting process for two different conditions such as top gating and side gating systems to predict the filling time, liquid metal velocity, mould erosion, solid fraction, porosity, and cold shuts.

The paper showcases the process and inferences drawn by creating casting simulations for a flywheel component manufactured by sand casting. Moreover, it is of great use to understand the probable locations where internal defects such as shrinkage porosity and sand inclusions might occur without prototypes, thereby saving time and money. Running simulations for casting have gained popularity in industries since it helps study mould filling, solidifying metal, and cooling part in the cast.
