Model the ideal package
Virtual testing allows designers to simulate the behavior of a new product at every stage of its life cycle. This leads to lower costs, faster time to market, and greater sustainability. Optimized design also encourages consumers to choose their products.
SIMULIA's realistic simulation applications for consumer goods manufacturers cover the entire product lifecycle. They include:
- Blow molding simulation: Optimizes the mold to achieve the desired final thickness distribution.
- Transportation: Reduces damage by ensuring that bottles do not get stuck or tip over on the assembly line.
- Filling: Predicts how the packaging will behave after being filled with product and measures the filled volume.
- Capping: Estimates the torque required to open and close the cap while maintaining seal integrity.
- Labeling: Predicts whether a new bottle design will cause label breaks or wrinkles.
- Body: Reduces damage during transport by predicting the final shape of the packaging in shrink wrap and the ability of the body to retain its shape during transport.
- Palletizing: Reduces bottle breakage by predicting bottle behavior based on top load (bottle weight) on the pallet.
