Altair Inspire Extrude Metal is a user-friendly simulation tool designed to enhance the metal extrusion process. By providing virtual testing, validation, and optimization of extrusion die designs, it allows engineers and designers to understand how profile features and process variables interact for various metal alloys. The software enables users to detect potential defects—such as profile distortion, tool deflection, and surface quality issues—before physical die construction, thereby reducing costly prototypes and redesign cycles. With capabilities like geometry creation and simplification, elastic and elasto-plastic tool assembly modeling, and automatic bearing optimization, Inspire Extrude Metal ensures efficient and high-quality production of complex profiles. Its intuitive interface makes advanced physics simulations accessible to organizations of all sizes, leading to improved extrusion quality, increased production yield, and enhanced customer satisfaction.

Features:

• Defect Detection: Identifies potential issues such as profile distortion, tool deflection, and surface quality problems before die construction.
• Geometry Modification: Allows for quick de-featuring and modification of CAD models to streamline the design process.
• Tool Assembly Modeling: Simulates elastic and elasto-plastic properties of the tool assembly to predict performance under operational conditions.
• Automatic Bearing Optimization: Adjusts die designs automatically to ensure balanced material flow and optimal product quality.
• Quenching Rate Prediction: Provides insights into cooling rates to prevent defects related to thermal stresses.
