At last, the whole process of filling and solidification of the air intake hood was simulated by the casting simulation software ProCAST. The lack of filling, wrapped cold insulation, the location of the

Also, the casting process of the air intake hood can be optimized by the analysis of the defects. Thereby, the effective measures can be taken before the actual production to reduce or avoid the defects. It is of certain significance to the actual production of the enterprises.
