      In this video you’ll learn how to set up and solve an inverse polymer extrusion problem in ANSYS AIM where we can examine the flow of a polymer melt as it is pushed, or extruded, through a three-dimensional die. For this particular example, we’ll examine a type of simulation, called an inverse extrusion, where we determine the shape of the extrusion die based on the desired end profile shape of the extruded material. ANSYS AIM provides easy simulation software for design engineering in an integrated multiphysics simulation environment.
