What it can do

Creates casting cases for gravity, low-pressure and high-pressure pours, from STL or parametric geometry.
Sets metal and mould material properties from a built-in database, and boundary conditions.
Generates the mesh, runs the solver and exports results as VTK, STL or CSV.
Predicts porosity, shrinkage, hot spots, cold shuts and misruns, and suggests gate and riser positions.

Limitations

Narrow scope; aimed at foundry and metallurgical cases rather than general CFD.
The clone command in the README points to a placeholder URL, so clone this repository instead.
