This presentation will show how Mabe used HyperMesh, HyperCrash, RADIOSS and HyperView for impact simulation, as well as OptiStruct for packaging optimization to improve and validate packaging performance in early stages of the product development process. Some of the business impacts that will be identified include better packaging performance and cost optimization, reduced physical testing, and reduced time to market.
