Muzzle brake casting simulation

***THIS ACTION IS RESTRICTED TO AUTHORIZED MAGMA SOFT
software vendors in accordance with FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).***

The Rock Island Arsenal anticipates issuing a solicitation for muzzle brake casting
simulation for the M776 cannon which is used on the M777, 155mm towed howitzer, utilizing MAGMA software.
RIA-JMTC uses MAGMA casting simulation software to facilitate casting mold designs; however, does not have
several modules (e.g. steel and stress) that are needed for simulating, identifying and diagnosing hot tears,
inclusions and stress in the casting. RIA-JMTC plans to develop one or two mold designs that simulation results
predict will be free of porosity and provide those mold designs to a facility that has MAGMA software for predicting
other injurious defects (e.g. hot tears, cold cracks, inclusions, etc. Complete details will be contained in the Scope of Work.

CAUTION: This solicitation will be issued electronically as will any amendments thereto. Because of this, the
Government is under no obligation and is in fact unable to maintain a bidder's mailing list. It is therefore,
incumbent upon interested parties to periodically access the above internet address in order to obtain any
