Hello,

 

I am new to Inspire Cast.

I would to know if there is an option to select and use an actual 3D component of a mold instead of using a bounding box as mold?

also, we are using water cooling. is there any guide on how to set the parameters?

 

thanks,

Irwin

    Hello User,

    Q1.  Option to select and use an actual 3D component of a mold instead of using a bounding box

    Ans 1. No it is not allowed to import a mold, mold must be created. 

     

    Q2. we are using water cooling. is there any guide on how to set the parameters

    Ans 2.  I would suggest you if you  want to use the water as cooling media, just draw the cooling lines and assign the type of coolant media.

    Thank you for your reply.

     

    another question, i am getting  this error:

     

    C2C CALCULATION ERROR
    0     Undefined error     
     Traceback (most recent call last):
      File 'C2CSolver.py', line 281, in <module>
      File 'C2CScripts\C2C_filling_driver_factory.py', line 31, in Factory

    Exception: Inlet velocity table must have an initial value defined (at t=0.0)
     

    i followed tutorials in setting all parameters but getting this error.

    did i miss something here?

    btw, i am running fill and solidification simulation.

     

    thanks!

    Dear User,

     

    This looks like undefined error (defined the initial velocity when time t= 0 sec? they are run time errors ) , what I assume is you missed to define the inlet velocity kindly re-check that. Redefine the process parameter and run once again. Still if you are getting the same error, please send me the model, we shall check it.
