Flat dies operating under high pressure often
experience distortion of the die body. This changes the geometry
of the internal flow channels of the die which can significantly
affect the flow distribution exiting the die and therefore die performance.
(The deflection of the die body observed at the die lips is commonly
called "clam shelling".) Satisfactory designs of such
dies require an accurate prediction of the deflection of the die
body as well as the flow in the internal channels of the die. Here
a 3-D deflection analysis body is coupled to a 3-D flow analysis
to analyze deflecting dies.
