Simulation-Aided Extrusion: An Efficient Optimization Strategy

Yves Krähenbühl and Bernard Bourqui -- MTD SA, Switzerland

MTD numerical modeling optimizes extrusion via Simulation-Aided Extrusion. Analytic, 2-D and 3-D models of varying complexity and well-defined application fields bring practical, efficient support to process improvement and die making. Experts in technology, modeling and numerical methods use modeling and simulation to solve problems in the domains of die design, process control, optimized extrusion speed, improved weld seams, and profile cooling.
