SimCoat
A Comprehensive Coating Simulation Tool
SimCoat is a cutting-edge software tool designed to simplify the complex world of spray coating. Whether you're in the field of materials science, manufacturing, or research, SimCoat provides a user-friendly and reliable platform to model coating processes and obtain crucial information about your coatings.
What does SimCoat do?
SimCoat is your go-to solution for modelling coating processes and understanding the key characteristics of your coatings, including thickness, roughness, and porosity. It offers a range of powerful features to make your work easier:
Precise Calculations
SimCoat can calculate the coating layer thickness, roughness, and porosity at any desired location on the substrate, whether it's stationary or in motion.
Particle Analysis
SimCoat provides insights into the initial velocity, diameter, and temperature of each injected particle, based on average and standard deviation values for these parameters. You can also import data from a DPV2000 system for further analysis.
Versatile Applications
SimCoat is versatile, capable of modelling both metallic and ceramic coatings, making it suitable for a wide range of industries.
Applications & Features
SimCoat goes beyond the basics and offers a plethora of applications
and features:
Fluid Analysis
It helps you analyze and develop various types of liquids and molten metals for coating applications.
Optimization
Determine optimal parameters and characteristics like droplet velocity, size distribution, and temperature for both the liquid and the substrate.
Porosity Analysis
SimCoat has built-in models for calculating porosity in the coating layer, caused by factors such as unfilled cavities, splat cur-up, un-melted particles, and satellite droplets.
Splat Shapes
Access a library of drop splat shapes that are instrumental in forming the coating.
Integration
SimCoat can be coupled with the publicly available post-processing OOF, developed by NIST, for a finite element analysis of microstructures.
