Ease-of-use Meets Capability
CAPlite features a step-by-step graphical interface, making it ideal even for those not experienced in casting software. Starting with a CAD design, CAPlite guides you through every step, from meshing to post processing.
For All Castings
Natural Solidifications are an effective thermal simulation that gives results within minutes. From die casting to sand casting, CAPlite can identify problems for all casting types.
Natural Solidification
The simplicity of Natural Solidifications enables them to augment your entire casting operation at every stage: design risers, gating, and chill configurations, identify defects, or simply help visualize the otherwise abstract process of solidification.
A Package With Just What You Need
CAPlite comes with the power of natural solidifications plus more to give you the tools you need to improve your castings at a fraction of the cost. While EKKcapcast provides a full simulation suite, CAPlite's natural solidification greatly improves your castings with a modest set of functionality:
