? To check the part-process compatibility? To check parting plane and moldability index? To identify the last solidifying regions in the casting i. e. hotspot.? To identify feeder location, its shape and dimensions? To check feed aid requirement? To check cooling animation: progressive solidification (casting surface to interior).? To check feed metal paths: directional solidification (thin to thicker regions).? To predict the location of shrinkage defects such as porosity and cracks.? To check feedability index
