The authors present the capabilities of the authorial software in the field of engineering simulation. This system uses the finite element method. It enables the performance of simulations of phenomena described by partial differential equations. Currently the NuscaS system consists of: a library of finite elements, a finite elements mesh generator as well as modules for performing simulations of heat transfer and solidification. The module of solidification enables one to conduct simulations of equilibrium solidification of two component alloys for three-dimensional problems. This paper presents the results of exemplar simulations that illustrate the capabilities of the described tool. These results consist of cooling curves, charts of part of the solid phase in the cast, fields of temperature in the cast and casting mould. The paper concludes with remarks and discussion of the obtained results.
