Altair's solidThinking has announced the release of Click2Extrude 2017.3, a suite of software that includes Click2Extrude Metal and Click2Extrude Polymer.


Some of you might be scratching your head asking yourself, what exactly is extrusion simulation software? Well, trust me, you've seen the product of its handiwork and it's likely you've even interacted with it today. You see, extrusion simulation software like Click2Extrude 2017 is used to help metal and polymer extrusion companies simulate the interaction of their materials with the dies that shape a substance into a final form.

In the past, when designs were more rigid and lacked the subtle curves that are now demanded in the automotive and aerospace industries, the process of metal and polymer extrusion didn't require advanced simulation. Today, that's hardly the case.

Fortunately, the Click2Extrude suite is steadily making the process of ensuring that dies and materials work together seamlessly much more easily and scientifically.

In the 2017 release, both Click2Extrude Metal and Click2Extrude Polymer are packed with new features. For its part, Click2Extrude Metal includes the ability to predict where internal defects may occur in weldments, skin tracking to identify scrap and back-end defects, a die failure prediction algorithm and quite a lot more.

When it comes to Click2Extrude Polymer, the 2017 update includes die swell prediction and profile shape defects, co-extrusion analysis and the opportunity to predict clamshelling and mandrel shifts. Again, Click2Extrude Polymer features a litany of other powerful enhancements that make extrusion simulation much more thorough and easy to use.

As the demand for lightweighting and aerodynamics continues to drive the extrusion markets, you can be certain that extrusion simulation software will become even more vital for manufacturers looking to capture the business of aerospace and for automotive giants looking for the cheapest and fastest solutions to their design and manufacturing challenges.

Click2Extrude Metal 2017.3 Release Notes:

Extrusion
- Result Callouts
Post-processing has been enhanced to support display results at specified points. This feature is called callouts, and is used to query results accurately at any given node or point in the domain.
- Bearing Profile Enhancements
Click2Extrude automatically extracts bearing profiles from the die assembly. Improvements have been made to this bearing profile extraction. In addition, the HM Batch interface has been enhanced to correctly identify the bearing profile corresponding to each hole.
- Negative Billet Taper
Axial billet taper is often specified such that the temperature increases from the dummy block end to the die end. The application requires a positive temperature value to impose this taper. Under some circumstances, the taper can be in the opposite direction. Previous versions did not allow negative values for the taper temperature. This is now resolved, and the user can specify negative values as needed.
- Bearing Regions with Choke
The application has been enhanced to detect bearing regions with choke more accurately. When bearing regions have choke, a different meshing strategy is used to create bearing and profile regions.
- Quick Help for Dialogs
Access to context-sensitive help pages has been enabled for dialogs. When a dialog is open, pressing the F1 key will open the respective help page in the browser.
- SimLab Upgrade
Click2Extrude uses SimLab in the background for meshing. In this release, SimLab was upgraded to its latest available version (2017.1) to resolve critical meshing issues and improve meshing performance.
Tool Deflection
- Improvements to Automatic BC Creation
Extrusion loads are applied to the surfaces of the tool assembly that comes in contact with the workpiece. These surfaces are identified automatically by the application when options such as mapped loads and linearly interpolated loads are used. These surfaces are tagged at the time of export. This tagging of load surfaces was improved and made identical to the methodology used for coupled models.
In addition, improvements were made to the specification of constraints in pin/bolt holes that are used to hold the die assembly.
- Tool Deflection Meshing
The accuracy of tool deflection analysis has been greatly improved with second order elements. This option is now supported by both batch meshing tools (HM and SimLab). With one click, the user can choose the first order (faster) or second order (accurate) option.
Quenching
- Units for Coolant Flow Rate
The coolant flow rate for spray cooling is specified in Liters Per Minute (lpm) for SI and Metric unit systems. It is specified in Gallons Per Minute (gpm) for the British unit system. In the previous release, flow rates were exported in Liters Per Minute for all unit systems. This bug is now resolved.
- Resizing of Quench Box
When the Quench Box was resized in the previous release, line and nozzle set entities were not correctly redrawn along with the box modification. This issue has been resolved in this release.
