In this 30-minute webinar, we show how StrömungsRaum® Extrusion supports engineers, developers and decision-makers in optimizing extrusion dies through fully automated cloud simulations.
After a short introduction to typical challenges in extrusion die design – such as inhomogeneous outlet flow, pressure imbalance or long iteration cycles – we demonstrate how StrömungsRaum® Extrusion addresses these issues with a standardized, simulation-driven workflow.
A live demonstration illustrates the complete process: from uploading the die and defining material as well as process parameters to interpreting simulation results in intuitive reports.
Real industrial use cases from elastomer extrusion, profile extrusion and multilayer applications highlight how companies reduce trial-and-error, stabilize processes and accelerate tool development. The webinar concludes with a Q&A session to discuss individual application scenarios.
