Altair Inspire Extrude 2025.0

Altair has released Inspire Extrude 2025.0 is an easy-to-use tool for simulating metal extrusion, polymer extrusion, and friction stir welding processes to detect potential defects early in the product development phase and improve the process efficiency.

Below is a resolved issues in this release and you can read the detailed release notes here

Resolved Issues
The following issues have been resolved for the 2025 release:

Metal Extrusion:
- Flow in the Bearing Region does not Conform to the Bearing Curve: There was a bug related to the profile shape factor usage in the bearing region’s flow computations. This issue has now been fixed, improving the flow in the bearing region has resulted in an improved profile nose cone for many simulations. (SLVHXT-634, SLVHXT-719, SLVHXT-736, SLVHXT-773, SLVHXT-755).
- Error in Writing Temperature Result in the Particle Trace CSV File: The temperature was not being written for the particles in the CSV file, this issue is now resolved. (SLVHXT-774)
- The Stat File did not have the Delimiter Specified Correctly: This issue was noticed for simulations having multiple exits. The comma was not printed after the exit temperature. Therefore, for multi-hole models, the data after that appeared as a single column. This issue is now resolved. (SLVHXT-775)
- Coupled Tool Heat Transfer Analysis BC Issue: Issues related to BCs in coupled tool heat transfer analysis are resolved for both Direct and Indirect Extrusion. (INSTRUDE-3078, INSTRUDE-3173)
- Flat Die Issues in Handling Geometry Units: There were issues in the die creation module, especially when editing the die dimensions. It required the users to specify the length units along with the values. This issue is resolved now. (INSTRUDE-3756)
Quenching:
- Alloys need time-temperature-precipitation (TTP) curve data to perform quenching analysis. This data in the default alloy had inconsistent values and this issue is resolved in this release. In addition, TTP data was added for a few other alloys. (INSTRUDE-3679)



Altair Inspire Extrude is a simulation environment designed to help extrusion companies meet the ever increasing demands to produce complex profiles with tight tolerances, quality surface finishes, and high strength properties at reduced cost. Altair Inspire Extrude is a simulation solution for both metal and polymer extrusion. It helps achieve productivity gains by reducing product development costs and improve extrusion quality, increasing production yield. Altair Inspire Extrude is a virtual press where users can visualize material flow and temperature inside a die during extrusion and make necessary changes to ensure balanced flow, while identifying and eliminating product defects.
