Better prediction of foam cell-size and distribution.New simulation software Simulation software is based on the process of imitating a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas. It is, essentially, a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually running the program. for foam profile extrusion models gas-bubble size and distribution using sophisticated math models known as "population balance," which estimate how bubbles form, grow, merge, and collapse, much the way the age distribution of people can be predicted in a population Distribution modeling is a major initiative at Fluent fluent /flu·ent/ (floo´int) flowing effortlessly; said of speech. Inc., Lebanon, N.H., and further improvements will be released this fall in version 6.3 of Fluent's general-purpose fluid-flow simulation software. A processor inputs rheology, melt and die temperatures, die geometry, and the mechanisms for nucleation nu·cle·a·tion n. 1.

Polyflow extrusion simulation (see photo) also models foam extrusion but does so without population-balance modeling. Tel: (603) 643-2600 * PTDirect: 839BZ [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
