Bottle Crush Simulation
Bottle Crush Simulation
(OP)
I am new to the area of fea. Could some one please provide an outline of how to conduct a non linear crush analysis of a plastic bottle. I will include a link with an image of a bottle that has been simulated.

Can Cosmos Works or Design Star conduct this type of simulation.

Cosmos should be able to make it. I made fea calculations with it for an hollow plastic wheel and it worked fine.

I work for a Blow Molding company designing new plastic bottles so I am hoping to conduct analysis before a product is made. I understand this is a very complicated type of simulation. I have been trying to work through as many tutorials as possible but I have not been able to find any tutorials related to thin walled plastic parts. Does anyone have any good links that could help me understand this type of problem.
RE: Bottle Crush Simulation
Gas pressurisation of the contents would also affect the result.
In short I would only believe the results of this analysis if a physical test program of a very similar part had already been correlated with a similar model.

Google or yahoo on '"Proctor & Gamble" FEA' and you will get a lot of hits which may help.
