HyperXtrude is an analysis tool for virtual testing, validation, correction and optimization of extrusion die designs.
Key Features
| • | Extrusion-specific graphical user interface guides you through model setup for analysis. |
| • | Enables analysis of the extrusion of metals, polymers, pastes and ceramics. |
| • | Enables analysis of material flow and heat transfer inside of a die during extrusion. |
| • | Computes die deflection and resulting stresses in the tool. |
| • | Corrects bearing design to balance material flow. |
| • | Auto-generates a RADIOSS data deck for accurate tool stress analysis and fatigue calculations. |
| • | Models co-extrusion of two or more materials. |
| • | Integrated with HyperStudy for optimization of die bearing, porthole and pocket shapes. |
Benefits
| • | Minimize die design time and cost: Virtual simulation provides insight and direction on physical models before die cutting and press setup. |
| • | Design robust die assemblies: Accurately predicts tool deflection and stresses due to extrusion loads for optimizing die designs. |
| • | Visualize material flow: Helps you understand the extrusion material flow, temperatures, pressures and forces. |
| • | Minimize weld scrap: Calculates transverse weld length to minimize weld scrap. |
| • | Reduce cost: Virtual validation reduces requirement for physical die trials. |
