Altair HyperXtrude 2020.1 Release Notes

Metal Extrusion Enhancements

Radiation Boundary Condition
In addition to convection heat transfer condition, the solver now supports radiation heat transfer condition on solid wall boundary condition.

Resolved Issues

Polymer Extrusion
  • Extrusion speed is automatically computed based on the inlet conditions and model data. There was an issue in this computation and now it is resolved. This issue was affecting the flow imbalance result and with this update, that issue is also resolved.
Resin Transfer Molding
  • There was an issue in the automatic time step computation module and it was resulting in premature termination of the run. This issue is resolved.
  • Under some conditions, the linear curing kinetics model was crashing and this issue is resolved.
