Abstract: The simulation of the filling and the solidification of thefoundingpartsis an essential stage to optimize the design of the moulds. The following one is even more in order to be able to predict in same time the level of the defects in the parts. The research concerns the study of the filling of the mould in order to determine its influence on the solidification of cast alloy. We established a calculation programme which makes it possible to simulate the filling of our mould starting from the flow of the liquid at exit of the crucible.The simulations results required the adaptation ofmeshing of the considered problem. The results of these simulations made it possible to define the quantity of the liquid present in each element at every moment at various speeds of casting.Our study includes the determination of the influence of the various considered parameterson the resulting thermal field. In our particular mould, it appeared that the speed of casting is the parameter which controls the phenomenonfacing the temperatures of pre-heating of the mould the and alloy melt.
