Altair Engineering

HyperXtrude is a finite element based simulation tool for analysis and design of extrusion processes and dies. HyperXtrude is capable of solving a wide range of complex flow and heat transfer problems that appear in the extrusion industry with a sophistication and reliability unattainable in the past. HyperXtrude's proven ability to accurately simulate the resin flow and heat transfer during extrusion processes allows the user to significantly reduce the die design time and cost by minimizing the number of die tryouts.
