Hello, I have used extensively used both MAGMA and ProCast previously. Assigning temperature-dependent heat-transfer coefficients (HTC) between the mold and the metal was always of utmost important for accurate simulations.
When I look in the material file for mold material in Inspire Cast, I see that I can assign a temperature-dependent environmental HTC for the mold, but I can only assign temperature independent HTC for the mold-metal interface.
I asked the question on another post about this, but figured I'd make a new post for visibility.
This kind of definition of heat transfer is extremely important, and is likely the reason why the benchmark result temperatures do not agree with actual experimental data, and only matches other software which are similarly forced to match the apparent abilities of InspireCast (

, PAGE 6).
Does anyone have a method, extension, or other way to allow Inspire Cast to accept temperature-dependent HTC for the mold-part, mold-core, part-core, etc.?
