Designing extrusion dies for homogeneous flow, stable throughput and high product quality is increasingly challenging – especially with complex geometries, demanding materials and limited engineering resources.

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.


  1. Understand extrusion die flow behavior early
    Learn how StrömungsRaum® Extrusion enables fast and realistic prediction of flow distribution, pressure loss, shear rates and residence times in extrusion tools – before manufacturing the first prototype.

  2. Leverage automated cloud simulation without CFD expertise
    Discover how fully automated workflows and cloud-based HPC make advanced extrusion simulations accessible to everyone – without local software, hardware or simulation know-how.

  3. Control critical effects such as wall slip and outlet homogeneity
    See how integrated wall slip modeling and outlet flow analysis help identify critical zones, reduce surface defects, stabilize throughput and improve product quality.


R&D Engineers / Development Managers
You are responsible for designing and optimizing extrusion tools under tight timelines and increasing complexity. Learn how StrömungsRaum® Extrusion reduces physical prototyping, development loops and dependency on scarce expert resources.

Process & Application Engineers
You work close to production and materials and need stable, reproducible extrusion processes. Learn how simulation-based insights help optimize flow behavior, reduce scrap and shorten ramp-up times.

CTO / Engineering & Technical Management
You are responsible for efficient use of engineering resources and technological competitiveness. Learn how automated simulation lowers development costs, accelerates time-to-market and supports scalable innovation.

An Overview of the Webinar Topics

Analyze pressure loss, velocity distribution, wall slip and residence times early – before building the first extrusion die.

Run powerful extrusion simulations in minutes via the cloud – no local hardware, no software installation, no simulation experts needed.

Reduce prototyping loops, scrap rates and ramp-up time while improving process stability and product quality across materials and die types.

"We save a significant amount of laboratory work, which is tedious, time-consuming, and requires a lot of personnel. It is so user-friendly that even non-engineers can operate the StrömungsRaum®."

"The introduction of automation into our simulation processes through the expertise of IANUS has brought significant advantages for both us and our clients."

"Through the partner package, we can quickly execute spontaneous simulations of coil distributors. We just have to send the tool geometry and the process point; the rest is handled by IANUS itself. This saves us valuable resources."
