Abstract
The simulation models have been adjusted to replicate the real process in future simulations by means of the advanced simulation combined with a planned experimentation carried out in industrial conditions, The simulation models include the presence of fibres (auxiliary materials) and their effects on the moulds and metal according to the number of layers (the use of these materials is crucial for the correct addressing of the solidification, because a proper solidification helps to obtain the technical requirements of the castings, face to achieve the best mould yield).
