Virtual testing allows designers to simulate a product’s performance at every stage of its lifecycle, leading to reduced costs, faster time-to-market, and enhanced sustainability. Optimized designs also increase consumer preference for the product.

SIMULIA’s realistic simulation solutions for Consumer Packaged Goods manufacturers cover the entire range of a product’s lifecycle, including:

● Blow Modeling: Optimizes perform shape to produce desired final thickness distribution.
Conveying: Reduces damages by ensuring bottles won’t get stuck or tip over in the assembly line.
● Filling: Predicts how the package will behave after filling the product and measures the filled volume.
● Capping: Estimates the amount of torque required to open and close the cp while maintaining seal integrity.
● Labeling: predicts whether new bottle design will cause tearing or wrinkling to the label.
● Casing: Reduces shipping damage by predicting final package shape in shrink wrap and whether the case can sustain shape during handling.
● Palleting: Reduces bottle breakage by predicting bottle behavior from top-load (of bottle weight) in a pallet.

By leveraging these simulations, manufacturers can optimize every stage of packaging design, ensuring superior quality and efficiency throughout the product lifecycle.
