contents We present theoretical predictions of the born-again scenario for post-asymptotic giant-branch stars. An extensive model grid for born-again objects has been constructed, particularly including models for the Very Late Thermal Pulse with and without convective overshooting, and also including models for the Late Thermal Pulse. We constructed a large parameter space to analyze the dependencies of the born-again model on core mass, hydrogen-envelope mass, and overshoot parameters, and we analyzed how changes in these parameters affect the models' evolution. We applied our grid of models to interpret observations of DY\,Cen, a star exhibiting characteristics similar to confirmed born-again stars. We compared DY\,Cen with models from multiple aspects, including heating rate, evolutionary tracks, and surface abundances. Ultimately, we concluded that none of our born-again models could match all of the observed properties of DY\,Cen, especially its surface chemistry; DY\,Cen is therefore an unlikely born-again star.
