Integrated Structural Casting Development with Digital Twin Technology

Abstract

In the present paper, we introduced the development of integrated structural castings with digital twin technology for the rear structure of high-end E-sports cars. The topological optimisation, casting structural design, materials verification, melt flow and solidification, mechanical property prediction and the final verification using low pressure die casting (LPDC) for the component manufacturing are described in details for digital twin. The microstructures and mechanical properties of the casting with satisfied quality are described under heat-treated condition.
