Inspire Cast: rename completed runs?
Hi, After running several casting simulations, with minor tweaks between runs, it is hard to remember what changed between "Original_Run" and "Original_Run(1)" and "Original_Run(2)" etc. Is it possible to give completed runs new names, or alternatively, designate their new name at the time of simulation?

Combination filling and solidification analysis in Inspire Cast 2019-4
When I do a simulation calculation for both filling and solidification, I would expect that the solidification starts with the temperature distribution of the filling simulation. I have the idea that that is not the case. Is that right?

Revise "Blend" curve in Inspire Cast?
Hello again, Since the "Blend" tool exists in Geometry, and not Sketch, I can't figure out how to re-access the control points to edit a blend. If I confirm the settings in the window shown below, how can I re-visit these setting and adjust the blend shape? SOLVED = sorry, as soon as I posted this I discovered I can access…

Inspire Cast response units?
Hi, If I place a sensor and have the response as Porosity, what does the numerical response refer to? In the standard Casting analysis, the Porosity "zone" is shown as a colored blob with x% porosity. But since sensors are singular points in space, how is it describing porosity (using what units)? TIA, dh

How to make a queue on launched simulations
Hi! Every time I launch more than one simulation, they proceed at the same time, causing a lot of occupied licenses allowed. Is it possible to make any type of queue of simulations that once the first is finished, the second is started and so on? Thank you for your help!

Metal-To-Mold Heat Transfer; How to use temperature-dependent values
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…

Porosity Preview and assess convergence in Inspire Cast
Dear all, I would like to ask for clarification regarding the following points in Inspire Cast: On what basis does the Porosity Preview evaluate the quick castability of a part? In casting simulation, which parameters are used to assess whether the analysis has reached convergence? Thank you very much for your support.
