Doe magmasoft3/29/2024 ![]() ![]() He developed training courses at Ford to teach engineers how to use software tools but felt that if these skills can be taught in colleges and trade schools, it will help students to be better prepared when they enter the work force. Agba first worked with the software when he was a Manufacturing Manager for Ford in Michigan and felt that it would be worthwhile to use it with his students too. Iowa State University has contracted with MAGMA, Inc. “The software is developed based on a real work environment.” “With a software program like MAGMASOFT®, you not only get the software but you get the engineering too,” said Agba. ![]() Traditionally, engineers would combine engineering principles with trial and error when developing castings however as Emmanuel Agba – a senior lecturer in mechanical engineering – explains, software programs such as MAGMASOFT® are able to simulate different manufacturing processes in a virtual environment beforehand, which can in most cases dramatically reduce the costs and labor associated with trial and error. Students in the ME 324 Manufacturing Engineering Lab work closely with a simulation software program known as MAGMASOFT® which helps to model various casting processes for a wide variety of different metals. Similar to a set of calipers, micrometers and tape measure, computers have become tools that are part of the daily routine for many mechanical engineers.
