ALTAIR HyperXtrude

Altair HyperXtrude is a finite element based simulation tool for analysis and design of aluminum extrusion dies. HyperXtrude accurately simulates the material flow and heat transfer during extrusion processes thereby allowing the user to significantly reduce die design time and costly die tryouts. HyperXtrude is developed to meet the needs of both extrusion process and product design engineers.

HyperXtrude is a virtual extrusion press and provides a complete understanding of the material flow through the die during extrusion. As attested by leading industry experts and shown by experimental studies, HyperXtrude cost-effectively produces high quality process validation results.

Benefits
