Abstract
The use of finite element analysis (FEA) to predict material flow and die deflection is well implemented in the scientific community but it is still new in the extrusion industry or for die makers. This paper deals with the advantages and limitations of FE-analysis to predict material flow and to optimize die design from an industrial point of view. For this study two software packages, HyperXtrude® and PF-Extrude®, have been used to predict the material flow in two applications, the optimization of a heat sink profile and the filling process of a porthole die
