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

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…

Always "No results available to show"
Hello. I am trying to perform a simple high pressure die casting simulation. I followed every step but at the end, when the results are compiled, it always shows me that: "There are no results to display." When I follow simple tutorials, I can do every step until the running step, where I have to run it on Batch mode…
