Abstract
This work presents a simulative approach to combine material flow simulation with the energy flow simulation for a foundry use case. The casting process is strongly dependent on the conventionally true value of the temperature, and hence a high accuracy in the thermodynamic models is needed. The presented approach reaches this accuracy via the mathematical tool MATLAB. The coupled simulation of Plant Simulation and MATLAB models provides a possibility to combine a material flow simulation with a mathematical software. With the help of this tool even complex thermodynamic problems can be solved. Furthermore, this work examines different simulation scenarios and their results on the output and energy consumption of a foundry. The results show the influence of the charging intervals and the melt temperature on machine failure and hence on the casting part throughput.
