Portfolio per Import automation

Finished mgo data files

With SimLink®, you can import your individual portfolio – including all its special types – into MAGMA  via a direct connection between MAGMA® and GTP ToolBox. From there, you can then position components directly. In addition to the 3D data, we offer a prefabricated MAGMA®data set (mgo) so that feeders can be set to the corresponding component position by drag & drop.

mgo data files

Download directly the MAGMA® Feeder Catalog

After logging in with your username and password, the finished mgo files are pulled directly into your GTP catalog under “My GTP Portfolio.”

FAQ

Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions.

What happens after registration with SimLink® or the GTP ToolBox?

You will receive an e-mail with a link to set your personal password. In the next step, GTP Schäfer will assign you to your company within 24 hours so that you can access your company-related portfolio data in the future. After these 24 hours you can start importing your portfolio.

What is the GTP ToolBox?

GTP Schäfer has developed an online tool that offers various services to GTP Schäfer customers. In addition to all product-related data (2D, 3D, MSDS, TDS, etc.), it contains details on sampling, visit reports, open To Dos, and other valuable information.

How can I import my GTP portfolio if my MAGMA® computer is not connected to the Internet?

Please go to www.gtp-toolbox.com with your Internet-enabled computer and log in there. In the next step, you can download your portfolio as a zip file and import it into MAGMASOFT®. You can see how this works in the video.

Which material data should I use for the simulation of GTP Schäfer exothermic risers?

Please select the data set “GTP_THERMEX” and the relevant HTC values:

Name: GTP HTC Cast-EXO
Description: Heat Transfer Coefficient (HTC) from liquid metal in riser to exothermic material

Name: GTP HTC EXO-Mold
Description: Heat Transfer Coefficient (HTC) from exothermic material to molding sand
