Metal Casting Simulation: Recipe for Disaster "Textbook" 1-4-4 Ratio Based Fill System

As a matter of comparison; here is a modelled "textbook" AFS 1-4-4 fill system.
The temperature colour gradient =
Top:1600C
Bottom:1550C
Alloy: 1026 Carbon Steel

DO NOT USE THESE ANTIQUATED, ARBITRARY METAL DELIVERY SYSTEMS. THEY ARE INADEQUATE AND CANNOT PRODUCE WORLD-CLASS CASTINGS.

I dont think It took simulation to know that was a bad runner and gate system..

[bobpuhakka]

@chippievw LOL! I couldn't agree more!

[IcedDreams]

some errors on runner system

eventually this process makes some casting defection.

the rightmost part of the horizontal tube is so dumb!

@bobpuhakka Still, they are nice vids, more-so the complex ones, I like to pause them at the start, and come up with how it will flow, and solidify,in my head Im doing ok so far LOL
