Free Casting Simulation Software
Prevent Defects at Zero Cost
Identify hot spots, shrinkage cavities, and microporosity with industrial accuracy.
- ✓ Analyze models up to 500,000 polygons using our professional FEM solvers
- ✓ Work 100% offline with no time limits, trials, or hidden fees
Real Tools. Real Results. Really Free.
Professional-grade casting simulation at no cost, with no compromises.
Real Software. No Trial.
This is real simulation software, not a 30-day trial. PoligonSoft FREE uses the same FEM core as our commercial editions, delivering full accuracy for models up to 500,000 elements.
100% Offline & Secure
Run simulations fully offline. Your CAD models, material data, and results never leave your workstation. No cloud uploads, no telemetry, just complete control.
Backed by Free Training
Learn casting simulation from scratch with free step-by-step video courses. From setup to result interpretation, everything you need to tackle real production tasks.
Everything You Need to Simulate Solidification
