Product Detail

Ludovic® - Twin screw simulation software

Ludovic® is a numerical simulation software dedicated to the corotating twin screw extrusion process (and Hot Melt Extrusion).

Ludovic® uses the components of the extrusion process as being in front of the real machine (geometry, screw profile, material charactersitics, process conditions).

From this data, Ludovic® computes the material flow during the process (computation time <30s).

Additional analysis tools (Design of Experiments, simulations comparison...) bring valuable answers to real extrusion issues involved in industrial topics.

Ludovic is a valuable supplement to experimental work that can provide insight into optimization, troubleshooting, and scale-up challenges of melt compounding and reactive extrusion processes. The accessibility of the software to users without extensive simulation experience and rapid computation of results make Ludovic a powerful alternative to more resource-intensive simulation approaches. Simulations can be tailored to different levels of detail and sophistication providing valuable and rapid feedback throughout the development process.
