• Simulates complex and multi-port die geometries with high accuracy
• Real-time feedback to optimize die design quickly
• Evaluates die swell, surface finish, and thickness uniformity
• Supports aluminum, magnesium, steel, and plastic extrusion materials
• Automatic meshing for fast and simple model setup
• Visualizes flow paths, shear rates, and thermal distribution
• Intuitive interface designed for product designers and tool engineers
• Reduces trial-and-error in die development
• Improves extrusion quality, yield, and production efficiency
• Fast solver suitable for early-stage manufacturability checks
• Seamless import of CAD geometry for quick analysis
• Enables rapid design iteration before physical tooling
• Lowers manufacturing cost by minimizing scrap and rework
• Suitable for automotive, aerospace, construction, and industrial applications
