Simulation software is robust and fast.


A new version of process 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.  from Ansys Inc., Southpointe, Pa., reportedly offers more robust and faster predictive analysis for extrusion blow molding. Beyond simulating the extrusion and blowing process, Polyflow 3.11 uses viscoelastic Adj. 1. viscoelastic - having viscous as well as elastic properties
natural philosophy, physics - the science of matter and energy and their interactions; "his favorite subject was physics"
 and rheology models to simulate the extrusion and blowing process and calculate die swell, 3D parison par´i`son

n. 1. (Glassworking) An intermediate stage or shape of a glass object which is produced in more than one stage.
 stretching, and temperature and thickness distribution in the blown product. The software also provides simple thermo-mechanical stress analysis to calculate deformations during cooling. Polyflow technology became part of the Ansys engineering software suite with the acquisition of Fluent fluent /flu·ent/ (floo´int) flowing effortlessly; said of speech. , Inc. last year. Polyflow can also be used for thermoforming. Tel: (724) 746-3304 * www.ansys.com
