Aim\ To study the development technology and application of engineering database for casting CAE. Methods\ The steps of developing the engineering database for casting CAE are determined. Some key technologies

such as the dynamic data binding

thedynamic linkage library and so on

are set about to be resolved. Furthermore

the mathematical method adopted to treat the varied thermophysical parametersis discussed

and the program for above aim is to be designed and tested. Finally

CASTData is to be added to the main calculation program. Results\ The database software integrated to CAST CAE have been developed. By the way

so called CASTData is a sub-module of the casting CAE software . Conclusion\ With CASTData

CASTSoft CAE can manage casting parameters more scientifically and efficiently. What′s more

the simulation precision and running velocity of CASTSoft CAE have been improved. Subsequently

the above work has enhanced the commercialization of CASTSoft CAE.
