Predict and eliminate porosity, shrinkage, misruns, cracks, and warpage before the first mold is poured. Optimize gating and feeding, cut material waste, and validate designs faster with physics-accurate simulation.














PoligonSoft is an all-in-one Casting Simulation Software based on the Finite Element Method (FEM). The system integrates three physics solvers for comprehensive analysis of casting processes:
Hydrodynamic Analysis: Models mold filling dynamics to predict flow patterns, identify potential mold erosion zones, and detect possible misruns.
Thermal Analysis: Simulates heat transfer during solidification and cooling phases to predict shrinkage porosity formation and optimize gating/feeding systems.
Stress Analysis: Computes thermo-mechanical stresses and strains to evaluate hot tearing susceptibility, residual stresses, and dimensional stability.
The integrated solver architecture enables simulation of conventional and specialized casting processes, providing quantitative data for process optimization and defect prevention throughout the entire production cycle.

Analyze and resolve the root causes of defects in the design phase
Visualize and control every stage in your casting process
Replace slow and expensive physical trials with virtual prototyping

Using a hex editor or strings command (Linux/Windows), you can extract all printable character sequences from an EX4 file and redirect them to a TXT file.
Report ID: TR-EX4-2024-001 Date: October 2024 Author: Technical Analysis Division Subject: Feasibility, Methods, and Implications of Converting MetaTrader EX4 Compiled Executables to Plain Text (TXT) 1. Executive Summary The EX4 file format is a compiled, machine-readable binary file generated by the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform from MQL4 source code. The TXT format is a plain, human-readable text file. This report investigates the technical possibility, legal implications, and practical limitations of converting an EX4 file to TXT. It concludes that direct, perfect conversion to original source code is impossible due to the compiled and obfuscated nature of EX4. However, limited extraction of metadata, strings, and low-level assembly instructions is possible using specialized decompilers and hex editors, producing a TXT output that is not functionally equivalent to the original MQL4 source. 2. Background & Definitions | Format | Description | |--------|-------------| | EX4 | Compiled executable for MetaTrader 4 (Expert Advisors, Indicators, Scripts). Contains bytecode for a virtual machine, not native CPU instructions. | | TXT | Plain text file with no special formatting; can contain any human-readable characters. | | MQL4 | Source code language for MT4 (similar to C++). | ex4 to txt
Specialized decompilers (e.g., , EX4 Decompiler by dOFM ) can recover a low-level representation of the bytecode instructions. The output can be saved as .txt , but it is not the original source — it is a reconstructed approximation, often full of generic variable names ( var_1 , var_2 ), missing logic branches, and may fail to compile. 3.3 String & Constant Extraction → TXT Verdict: ✅ Easily possible. Using a hex editor or strings command (Linux/Windows),



The first version of the PoligonSoft casting simulation software, initially named SAM LP 'Poligon,' was developed in 1989 at the Central Research Institute of Materials (CIM, St. Petersburg) by order of the Ministry of Defense Industry.
It was the world's first commercial software package to implement a mathematical model for calculating microporosity. PoligonSoft has since been successfully adopted by aerospace industry enterprises, where stringent casting quality standards are required.
For over 30 years, the casting simulation software has continuously evolved, integrating extensive expertise and knowledge from leading institutes and numerous companies in Russia and abroad.
In July 2009, the PoligonSoft development team joined CSoft Development.
