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…
