Actually I want to know about the module of ansys and the conditions which I should apply to analyze the Shrinkage in casting and its effect on the wall of mould due to shrinkage in case of die casting.
Ansys has Fluent which may be used for some solidification analysis. The phase transitions cause volumetric changes and makes the casting simulation complicated. Different alloys and materials will have different phase transition characteristics that is hard to integrate into the commercial software. You can also assume that there will be no phase transition and consider the thermal expansion effects to have a qualitative idea of the process.
To find out the hot spots, to study the temperature and stress contours.
For effective casting design.
Also to design the perfect gating and risering system.
I believe Ansys does not have a module with solidification analysis capability. There are other solidification software like

Autodesk has Moldflow which is more geared for plastic injection process simulations.
You can use the material property SWELL to simulate the volumetric expansion/contraction term that is in addition to thermal strains:
