The design of wire‐coating dies is described using finite element numerical analysis as a guide. Finite elements are able to accommodate awkward geometries and non‐Newtonian fluid properties in a realistic manner, and produce streamline and stress patterns within the die. Two basic die geometries are examined and a new design which eliminates recirculation within the die is proposed.
