The 2D FEM module is used for the precise analysis and design of 2D flow channels of arbitrary shape. Based on the Finite Element Method (FEM) of mathematical analysis, the program can provide very detailed information about a flow field. Recirculation regions (vortices) or stagnant flow regions which result in excessive residence time for the material can be easily observed. Areas of excessive shear stress, which can lead to surface or interfacial defects can be investigated. More importantly, the design or process engineer can use this module to ensure that the design of the flow channels avoids these types of problems. The user friendly, intuitive, interface allows you to create, test and optimize many designs quickly and efficiently.

The 2D FEM module has been developed with the extrusion process engineer in mind. From wire and cable coating to coextrusion die design, this module is used to provide valuable design information in virtually any extrusion process. Equipment Manufacturers use the module to analyze and design equipment for commercial applications in a wide area of extrusion including, pipe and tubing, blow molding, flat sheet and film with up to 10 layers. From a process standpoint, this module has been used to investigate various phenomenon such as "shark skin", "die drool", "extrudate swell" and "interfacial instability". The versatility and ease of use have truly made this module a valuable CAE tool.

The 2D FEM module features:
- improved graphical design interface
- up to 50 obstacles within the flow field
- up to 10 layers/materials
- fast calculations
- improved image/results saving capability
- improved Material Database interface
