The goal		To enable students for effective planning and solving technological tasks that occur in the casting practice. This is primarily related to the economically and technologically rational design of the castings by themselves, the appropriate choice of casting technology, the design of the appropriate casting system and the casting models. Introduction to modern software simulations and packages for design tools and models is a priority of this course.
The outcome		Students are trained to effectively design and solve technological tasks that occur in foundry practice. Students will also be able to choose the casting technology for a given problem, to design the casting system and model for castings, and to simulate the casting process itself in a designed system.
Contents
Contents of lectures		The course introduces students to the relevant thermal, thermodynamic and physical phenomena that occur during the process of metal flow and solidification in a mold. The attempt to predict computer simulations of the course of possible events as well as the final outcome is based on the finite element method related to mass and heat transfer, ie. it is closely related to the above phenomena.
Contents of exercises		Study research work consists of performing simulations for a given casting problem: selection of casting technology, design of the casting system and casting model, simulation of the casting process in the designed system.
