Learn how simulation and design exploration tools from Siemens PLM Software are used to simulate and optimize the extrusion and die design process for producing polymeric and plastic parts, minimizing the required energy and raw materials.

The extrusion process is one of the most important production methods for producing ceramic, glass and polymeric profiles. Dies and fluid properties vary in structure and complexity to produce desired products. In this webinar we will demonstrate how the finite element (FE) based viscous flow solver in Simcenter STAR-CCM+ can simulate and optimize this challenging and often costly process.

Primary Topics:

• Overview of the available viscoelastic constitutive models in Simcenter STAR-CCM+
• An introduction to the material calibration feature
• Using Simcenter STAR-CCM+ Design Manager in pre-die chamber design
• Using the Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) approach in the extrusion and die design process
