By using this modelling and simulation, the temperature fields i.e. temperature at various points of the part, cooling
rates and solidification characteristics of the part can be investigated and in addition the impact of process
parameters and boundary conditions on the thermal profiles of part can analysed. By doing this we can determine
various mechanical properties without carrying out destructive testing quickly. We have to determine important
process parameters for solving the heat transfer equation by finite difference method and obtain temperature at
various points and times with the help of that solved equation and draw the temperature profiles with respect to
position and time and then at last comparing modelling results with experimental results. The simulation results are
in good agreement with experimental results.
