This interface is used to set up billet taper data to HX solver. Since isothermal extrusion is desired for uniform product quality, billet taper heating is preferred. It supports three types of taper:

•Axial Taper
•Radial Taper
•Lateral Taper

On the Utility menu, click on Solver Problem Data >> and then click on Billet Taper. It opens a tab to set up Billet Data packet for HX solver.

The following table explains the data fields of Billet Data.

Field

Description

Select Billet Component

In the drop down list select the meshed Billet component.

Axial Taper

Select Yes, if there is axial taper. Else select No.

Radial Taper

Select Yes, if there is radial taper. Else select No.

Lateral Taper

Select Yes, if there is lateral taper. Else select No.

Num Initial Billet Cycles

Number of billet cycles for which billet taper data is specified.

Actual Billet Length

Computed length of selected meshed Billet component

Billet Length Set

Number of entries in this data corresponds to the value of number of initial billet cycles. Length of Billet for every cycle.

Ram Speed Set

Number of entries in this data corresponds to the value of number of initial billet cycles. Ram speed data for every cycle.

Num of Axial Taper zones

Select the number of axial taper zones from drop down.

Axial Taper Data

Axial taper for each cycle is specified in each row and it has the following format:

<preheat> <Dz1> <DT1> <Dz2> <DT2> ... <Dzn> <DTn>

Number of rows corresponds to value of number of initial billet cycles.

Radial Taper Data

Number of entries in this data corresponds to number of billet cycles

Lateral Taper Data

Number of entries in this data corresponds to number of billet cycles
