If something can be modeled, it can be studied, optimized and tested as needed via simulation without trial-and-error methodologies. This speeds development time and cuts costs. For more than two decades, engineers in the Advanced Materials and Processing group based in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Queen's University, Belfast, Northern Ireland, have explored almost everything that happens when a plastic bottle is created-and identified which parameters are most critical in ensuring that the end result is an optimized bottle.
