Automating the Simulation Process at AMCOR: A Case Study

Altair ProductDesign’s Enterprise Solution Group (ESG) worked with Amcor’s simulation specialists to identify where time and costs could be saved within the design process. They suggested that Amcor could take advantage of the Impact Simulation Director (ISD), which automates the laborious, manual tasks associated with model setup, analysis, postprocessing, and reporting. Altair ProductDesign worked closely with Amcor’s team to understand the existing impact simulation process in order to identify how the ISD could be best implemented to avoid disruption to the ongoing product development cycle. On-site training sessions were organized to help achieve a quick and effective adoption of the solution. Once implemented, the ISD was able to accelerate the modeling process by allowing the user to define mesh criteria for each part, automatically mesh the model and then quickly check mesh quality and status. The solution guides the analyst through the impact simulation process, creating solver decks from CAD geometry for a wide variety of analyses.
