Altair Extrusion Mathematical models and theory

DimitriosSkarvelakis

hello!

I am currently learing Altair Extrusion and would like to understand the underlying mathematical models better. Is it possible to view the equations or the detailed calculation methodology that the software uses for extrusion simulations? I am particularly interested in the mathematical approach for the extrusion process and how the software models it.

Thank you!

Hello @DimitriosSkarvelakis ,

I am adding some references for you to read on extrusion and the numerics behind it.

Title	Author	Publisher	Remarks
Title	Metal Forming: Process and Analysis	Author	Betzalel Avitzur	Publisher	McGraw Hill  (1968)	Remarks	Fundamentals of metal forming, analytical solutions
Title	Extrusion	Author	K. Laue and H Stenger	Publisher	American Society of Metals (1981)	Remarks	This is an excellent reference for anyone working in the extrusion industry. It covers all aspects of extrusion: theory, analysis, die design,  and support tooling.
Title	Extrusion of Aluminium Alloys	Author	Terry Sheppard	Publisher	Kulwer Academic(1999)	Remarks	Covers all aspects of extrusion. Excellent reference on how to interpret numerical results. Need some knowledge of extrusion and metallurgy to help understand the content. This is a collection of Prof. Sheppard's papers.
Title	Aluminum Extrusion Technology	Author	Pradip K. Saha	Publisher	SAM International (2000)	Remarks	It complements the book by Laue and Stenger. It covers some recent topics, but it is more from a production point of view.
Title	Fundamentals of Extrusion	Author	Klaus Muller and 12 co-authors	Publisher	Giesel Verlag	Remarks	It covers the theory of extrusion, die design, troubleshooting, and process optimization. It is an excellent source, capturing the knowledge of 13 industry experts and researchers in one book.
