Altair Inspire Extrude Polymer is an intuitive simulation tool designed to enhance the polymer 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 polymers. The software enables users to detect potential defects—such as unbalanced flow, overheating, and poor surface quality—before physical die construction, thereby reducing costly prototypes and redesign cycles. With capabilities like geometry creation and simplification, guided extrusion templates, and powerful results visualization, Inspire Extrude Polymer ensures efficient and high-quality production of complex profiles. Its user-friendly 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 unbalanced flow, overheating, and poor surface quality before die construction.
• Geometry Modification: Allows for quick de-featuring and modification of CAD models to streamline the design process.
• Guided Extrusion Templates: Provides templates for coextrusion, spiral dies, coextrusion with metal inserts, and film and sheet dies.
• Powerful Results Visualization: Offers insights into temperature, displacement, velocity distribution, pressure, viscosity, cooling time, and more.
• User-Friendly Interface: Enables quick ramp-up and efficient defect detection, resulting in cost and time savings.
