      In this video you’ll learn how to set up and solve a polymer extrusion problem in ANSYS AIM. For this particular example, we’ll examine the flow of a polymer melt as it is pushed, or extruded, through a three-dimensional die. As the polymer fluid is extruded out of the die, the free surface of the extrudate is exposed and begins to deform. ANSYS AIM provides easy simulation software for design engineering in an integrated multiphysics simulation environment.
