Fortissimo Success Story Published in the Futurities Magazine
8. January 2025
FF4EuroHPC Success Story titled HPC for Profile Extrusion was published in the Futurities Magazine which presents the future of engineering simulation.
A story addresses the specific challenge SME faced: Plastic profiles offer design freedom but rely on trial-and-error methods, which are time-consuming, costly, and limited by designer experience, especially for complex geometries. The SME, Soprefa, used open-source tools (OpenFOAM, Dakota) on HPC to optimize extrusion dies rapidly, enabling automated trials, CAD integration, and improved designs for complex profiles within one day.
