Highlights
Altair HyperXtrude is a suite of finite element solvers for simulating metal extrusion, polymer extrusion, metal rolling, friction stir welding, billet forging, and resin transfer molding processes. It has process specific features for each of these processes and supported with an easy use interface for setting up model data.
HyperXtrude for Metal Extrusion
• | Additional control to turn on/off the heating elements based on temperature of the heating elements in addition to the thermocouple data is implemented. |
• | Enhancement to bearing boundary condition to improve pressure prediction at the tip of bearing profile, where the extruded material loses contact with die wall. |
