Hi everyone,

I'm trying a new feature in InspireCast named 'Cycling'.

I need your help on my questions as below:

 

1. Based on my understanding, this feature will give you the result of mold temperature variation while working with multiple cycles.
Is that true?
 

2. Take an example that i tried on ICast2020.
The setting was made as below:
image.png.3ab2a091df2bdc02e04d4f712d86b406.png i defined the duration time = 4s (the amount of time that the mold is open before beginning the next cycle)

However, while checking the result, i found the duration time was 1200 second for 2 cycles.

Is this a bug in the software?
or if it's correct, could you explain for me about the timeline in this?image.png.ff71dfaf985fcf982550d722f8a0ea89.png

 

Thank you very much!

    Hi Junta,

     

    1. Its a time between 2 cycles.

     

    2. its 1200 seconds is the total time to reach 673.15k.

    Hi Sourav,

    So its need the entire model reach 673K before starting the next cycle, right?

    Hi Junta,

     

    Yes correct, all nodes should be less than that temperature.
