The comparison between simulation results once the model has been adjusted and experimental data is shown inFig. 4. As can be observed the simulation results match well with experimental measurements along the wholeprocess. The number of iterations performed to achieve these results has not been registered, but an estimation ofabout 500 iterations is a reasonable value taking into account the time dedicated to this task.Relating to shrinkage defects, Fig. 5 shows the comparison between experiments and simulation. Simulationprovides shrinkage predictions in form of porosity values, in this way areas with values near to zero implies almostnone porosity and they have been removed from the picture. Results predicted by simulation match well with theyobserved experimentally, according to industrial necessities.
