Software

Since a couple of years the KTP has developed different simulation programs within their main areas of research. The programs listed here have been created in cooperation with industrial partners and illustrate in each sector the current state of research.
Name Description Flyer Demo
BEEM – Calculation of the Feeding Process in Single Screw Extruders BEEM is a free tool to calculate the feeding process in single screw extruders.
PAM – Paderborn Material Database The Paderborn Material Database is a software tool to administrate and evaluate material data in the field of polymer science.
PSI - Paderborn Injection Molding Simulation PSI is a tool to design and optimize the screw geometry for the injection molding process. In addition to different screw concepts, also varying shear- and mixing elements as well as non-return valves are available. PSI.flv
REX – Computer-Aided Extruder Design REX is the counterpart to PSI regarding the single screw extruder. Here, it is also possible to calculate all common screw concepts. Additionally, it enables the user to design a venting extruder. REX.flv
SIGMA – Simulation of Co-rotating Twin-Screw Extruders SIGMA is a tool for performing the simulation on co-rotating twin screw extruders which helps to evaluate and optimize the modular screw design. SIGMA.flv
