The article focuses on the analysis of the results of computer simulation of the technological process of casting the part “Stub”. In the work, the elements of the gating-feeding system were calculated. Based on the calculated data, a digital model was built. An important stage of the work was the digital modeling of the technological process of casting the plug part in the ProCast CAE system. The simulation results were viewed and analyzed in the Visual-Viewer postprocessor module. An analysis of the simulation results made it possible to evaluate the efficiency of the gating system, determine the areas of turbulent flow, the nature of filling the zone with a high flow rate, possible places of mold erosion, places of formation of air pockets that can affect the occurrence of gas inclusions in the casting. The nature of the distribution of the temperature gradient in the casting, the time and uniformity of the solidification of the casting were also studied.
