Description A systematic and integrated approach to automate the design of gating channels for casting is presented. The type of gating system and the layout of gating channels are selected by a set of rules stored in a knowledge base. A decision tree incorporating a conflict resolution mechanism has been developed to compute various parameters of the gating system and view the effect of changing a particular parameter on others. Simplified simulation of molten metal impingement, flow, and filling in the mould is carried out, followed by quantitative assessment of the entire gating system using a set of sixteen criteria. This approach enables rapid modification of the gating design and if necessary, the casting design, to achieve the required quality and yield. The results of the program developed in this investigation are presented for a three-dimensional model of a valve casting.
