Abstract
A container design process. The process involves receiving container design specifications, receiving readings from a first scan of a container taken before the container has been exposed to expected conditions of use, receiving readings from a second scan of the container taken after the container has been exposed to the expected conditions of use, applying finite element analysis to the container using measurements obtained by comparing the first scan and the second scan, and recommending design changes that will enable the container to meet the container design specifications based on the finite element analysis.
