With the use of custom written mesh generators,
Dieflow 3-D CFD software can be used to greatly reduce the "cut
and try" that is often involved in the design of profile dies.
Not only can a profile die with almost unlimited complexity be designed
to give a near uniform exit flow throughout the entire profile,
but the downstream effects of die swell on the final extruded shape
can be determined as well.
