Abstract：A casting process suitable for complex thin-walled gearbox housing was designed, and its technical requirements
and structure were analyzed. CAE analysis of the flow field and solidification field in the forming process was carried out
based on the analysis software MAGMA, and a two-side bottom pouring process for complex thin-walled gearbox housing
was designed.The results show that the casting process can meet the technical requirements of this kind of complex
thin-walled gearbox housing.
