A numerical simulation of a solidification experiment is presented. The experimental setup consists of an empty screwed up mould, which is filled up with molten steel and cools down due to atmospheric conditions. During the cooling process, the temperature at the centre as well as the shrinkage at the narrow side, respectively, have been recorded. The simulation has been run via the software ANSYS modified by specific provided programmer interfaces, the User Programmable Features (UPFs). All required temperature dependent material parameters have been provided by ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe. (© 2017 Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
