NumBitesToSkip Number of cycles to skip 0
CycleTime Cycle time of the crank press 0.0
DecompTime Time for decompression (hydraulic press) 0.0
DwellTime Time for dwell 0.0

REMARKS

TCYCLE is an action keyword and is mainly for internal use. It is used in the cogging template to automatically calculate heat transfer time (cycle time left after bite deformation time).
