ANSYS Webinar: Simulation Driven Product Design and Process Improvement in the Plastic Packaging Industry

Learn how technology from ANSYS can help you predict package performance before your processes are implemented, and how Simulation Driven Product Development leads to cost savings, reduced time to market and an increased competitive advantage against those that heavily rely on physical prototypes.

Whether it is a blow molded bottle, a thermoformed cup or a clamshell package, engineers need to ensure the structural integrity and behavior of their products while maximizing production rate, minimizing waste and moving products to market quickly.

Coupling the two steps of process design and part design virtually and seamlessly through simulation has so far been more of a wish than a reality. This Simulation Driven Product Development is now possible and the current presentation will show how through concrete examples and a case study highlighting a thermoformed medical tray designed to withstand top load.

Presenter: Hossam Metwally, Ph.D.
Dr. Metwally began working at Fluent Inc. in June 2001 and has continued with ANSYS, Inc. since its acquisition of Fluent in March 2006. He has been involved in multiple consulting projects using computer simulation in different areas of polymers processing including extrusion, thermoforming and blow molding.

Dr. Metwally is a regular attendee and presenter at the ANTEC (Annual Technical Conference for Polymer Science and Polymer Processing sponsored by the Society of Plastics Engineers) and other polymer processing meetings. He was awarded the best paper award from the extrusion division at the ANTEC conference in 2006.
