Predict and eliminate porosity, shrinkage, misruns, cracks, and warpage before the first mold is poured. Optimize gating and feeding, cut material waste, and validate designs faster with physics-accurate simulation.














PoligonSoft is an all-in-one Casting Simulation Software based on the Finite Element Method (FEM). The system integrates three physics solvers for comprehensive analysis of casting processes:
Hydrodynamic Analysis: Models mold filling dynamics to predict flow patterns, identify potential mold erosion zones, and detect possible misruns.
Thermal Analysis: Simulates heat transfer during solidification and cooling phases to predict shrinkage porosity formation and optimize gating/feeding systems.
Stress Analysis: Computes thermo-mechanical stresses and strains to evaluate hot tearing susceptibility, residual stresses, and dimensional stability.
The integrated solver architecture enables simulation of conventional and specialized casting processes, providing quantitative data for process optimization and defect prevention throughout the entire production cycle.

Analyze and resolve the root causes of defects in the design phase
Visualize and control every stage in your casting process
Replace slow and expensive physical trials with virtual prototyping

Here’s an interesting take on the subject : If you’ve ever navigated the layers of Indonesian local governance, you’ve likely encountered the term lurah . But what’s the best English equivalent? The short answer is "village head" — but that barely scratches the surface.
In short: the lurah is the bridge between the people and the government — and in English, the closest you’ll get is lurah in english
But here’s where it gets interesting: unlike a rural village head ( kepala desa ), who is often elected directly by villagers, a lurah is typically a . Think of them as the government’s eyes, ears, and hands at the most local level — issuing ID cards, mediating disputes, coordinating community cleanups, and even certifying births and deaths. Here’s an interesting take on the subject :
So while "village head" works in a pinch, it misses the urban and bureaucratic flavor. For a more vivid translation, try or "local administrative officer" — but never just "mayor." That’s a different league entirely. In short: the lurah is the bridge between
A lurah leads an kelurahan , which is a step below a district ( kecamatan ) and, in urban settings, roughly comparable to a or ward head . In everyday English, you might also hear chief of a village , local administrator , or even neighborhood head , depending on context.



The first version of the PoligonSoft casting simulation software, initially named SAM LP 'Poligon,' was developed in 1989 at the Central Research Institute of Materials (CIM, St. Petersburg) by order of the Ministry of Defense Industry.
It was the world's first commercial software package to implement a mathematical model for calculating microporosity. PoligonSoft has since been successfully adopted by aerospace industry enterprises, where stringent casting quality standards are required.
For over 30 years, the casting simulation software has continuously evolved, integrating extensive expertise and knowledge from leading institutes and numerous companies in Russia and abroad.
In July 2009, the PoligonSoft development team joined CSoft Development.
