Design sustainable packaging with the virtual twin

By Leave a Comment

By Raymond Wodar, Global Business Consultant — CPG-Retail Industry • Dassault Systèmes

Most manufacturers know (or want to know) about the digital twin, which the Digital Twin Consortium defines as “a virtual representation of real-world entities and processes, synchronized at a specified frequency and fidelity.” The digital twin and its more comprehensive successor, the virtual twin, promise to make manufacturing more productive and less wasteful.

However, a virtual twin goes beyond digital continuity by representing a product or system as it exists in the present and the past. The past includes the traceability and history of the product or system’s design, testing, and manufacturing. The virtual twin also helps manufacturers simulate how a product will operate and must be maintained in the future.

Virtual twins help companies develop complex systems and products with hundreds or even thousands of parts. By applying virtual twin technology to the design process in the transportation and mobility industry, for example, planes, trains, and electric cars not only have more advanced features but are safer and more fuel-efficient. Similarly, healthcare companies can ensure better patient outcomes, and city planners can improve infrastructure and the quality of life for citizens.

Consumer packaged goods companies increasingly leverage virtual twin technology to design and manufacture more sustainable food and beverage packaging. This technology helps packaging manufacturers fully assess tradeoffs between cost and eco-friendly designs, and it simulates decisions from materials to future recycling options before producing physical packaging.

Decisions made during initial design phases determine up to 80% of a product’s environmental impact, including a product’s packaging. According to estimates, only 9% of all plastics are recycled, and American consumers throw out nearly five pounds of trash each day — the majority of which is food and packaging. Thus, it’s easy to see the massive opportunity to improve sustainability. Manufacturers will play a significant role in the circular economy by creating durable products that are more easily repaired and recycled.

Consider Biopak of Australia and New Zealand. The company began producing compostable packaging from renewable plant-based materials to reduce the number of single-use takeout food plastic containers going to landfills each year. Similarly, New York-based Evocative Design harnesses the power of hemp hurds and mycelium (the root structure of mushrooms) to develop insulating, water-resistant packaging. Contrast the 500 years it takes Styrofoam to decompose with the “mushroom packaging” that composts in 45 days.

Leading manufacturers employ the virtual twin from the molecular level to the system level to achieve sustainable packaging. Plastic container giant Amcor began using advanced software simulation through virtual twins to lightweight their products, reducing the weight of its hot-fill beverage bottles by up to 50% and cutting consumption of thermoplastic polyethylene terephthalate (PET) by more than 100 million pounds annually.

Like engineers developing an electric vehicle, Amcor’s packaging engineers applied these technologies to optimize the material placement and increase strength without adding weight. Running hundreds of simulations on a virtual 3D representation of a product reduced time and increased fidelity compared to testing physical prototypes, resulting in reduced development costs, project lead times, and waste.

The virtual twin goes much further than optimized box and bottle designs. A thorough and collaborative lifecycle assessment of a product in the early concept and design phase allows manufacturers to plan and validate its circular journey virtually before die-cutting or plastic injection molding begins.

Packaging designers can analyze which raw materials best suit the application. For example, by simulating the virtual twin of packaging for mushrooms, the designer or simulation analyst evaluates the optimal balance of cost, quality, performance, and recyclability to select the most sustainable option.

With validated packaging models in place, manufacturing virtual twins follow, which help packaging designers determine tooling investments, the optimal production floor layout, and workforce headcount well in advance. Using a virtual twin to simulate all processes and factory floor decisions not only saves significant financial costs but allows manufacturers to account for mistakes in the virtual world, which eliminate physical world mistakes and rework.

In addition, the virtual twin provides post-manufacturing visibility into last-mile delivery puzzles and solutions. Manufacturers can collaborate with logistics providers to optimize truckloads better and reduce instances of empty miles. Powerful algorithms applied to virtual twins help fine-tune shipping routes, adjust for traffic and workforce disruptions, and more. By optimizing logistics, companies can lower CO2 emissions while minimizing shipping and warehousing costs.

The competitive pressure to make products, services, and operations more sustainable aligns with providing the best possible customer experience. Approximately 88% of consumers in the U.S. and U.K. combined want manufacturers to invest in methods, processes, and technologies that improve their environmental and social footprint. Some estimates expect the value of the global sustainable packaging market to hit $255 billion by 2026. With the right tools in place, such as the virtual twin and a platform for future-ready operations, consumer packaged goods companies can enable sustainable operations and support the circular economy.

The present and future of medical device innovation

By Leave a Comment

Medical device manufacturers are motivated to deliver groundbreaking drug delivery solutions driven by new pharmaceutical therapies and smart connected products that have the potential to transform the patient care paradigm from in-patient care to outpatient and self-administered therapies. Innovators that provide a compelling and intuitive user experience have a competitive advantage. However, medical device makers face challenges in their quests to develop innovative devices that meet regulatory requirements, achieve sustainability goals and improve patient experience and outcomes.

To address these challenges, medical device makers are leveraging computer-aided design (CAD), modeling, and simulation technologies unified on a collaborative and data-managed platform. This unified modeling and simulation (MODSIM) approach from Dassault Systèmes enables scientists, researchers, engineers and designers to collaboratively develop and evaluate pharmaceutical therapies combined with mechanical and electronic devices for optimal patient care.

MODSIM delivers full associativity between CAD and computer-aided engineering (CAE) models and connectivity with functional requirements, product designs and simulation results to ensure decision traceability. Beginning with conceptual designs, designers and engineers can collaborate across work functions on developing a device and its components tailored to delivering a specific drug therapy. They can analyze a range of physics that influence design performance, including structural analysis of components and assemblies, fluid dynamics and fluid-structure interactions of the drug delivered through the device and electromagnetic analysis of the electronic components and antennas for wireless connectivity.

Combined with design exploration, optimization and data management applications, MODSIM improves upon basic CAD and CAE integration. MODSIM enables workflow automation to eliminate laborious, repetitive and error-prone tasks such as updating simulation models and re-meshing each design revision. Best practices for modeling and simulation are easily captured, templatized and distributed to non-experts so they can reliably assess the implication of design modifications. Data management apps and the cloud platform allow them to share their simulation results and share their thinking on performance-based decisions, regardless of their physical location.

Beyond the device function itself, developers need to evaluate the physical and physiological interaction of medical devices with the human body. For instance, when developing a drug delivery device, designers can use a virtual twin of the human body, which is a dynamic virtual 3D model, to analyze the sizing and ergonomics of their device, as well as the force required to insert a needle into the skin for a variety of patient types ranging from adults to children. Similarly, cardiac implant makers can use a virtual twin of the heart to evaluate how an artificial heart valve will move during the cardiac cycle in a virtual environment before physical prototyping or testing on humans. Significant technical advances are being made in the development of realistic, validated virtual models of human organs and musculoskeletal systems to enable the assessment of medical device safety and effectiveness.

Realistic modeling and simulation of medical devices interacting with virtual humans offers the promise of creating personalized virtual twins to evaluate the individual patient experience, device safety and therapeutic outcomes.

3D CAD & CAE manufacturer catalogs powered by CADENAS now available in SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D

By Leave a Comment

Good news for all electrical engineers and component manufacturers: SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D joins the long list of software solutions for CAD, CAE, PLM and simulation that offer direct access to thousands of digital manufacturer catalogs powered by CADENAS. Millions of manufacturer-verified 3D CAD and CAE data are now directly integrated into the popular solution for electromechanical design. By integrating the Strategic Parts Management PARTsolutions, users have access to not only the countless 3D CAD models. They also benefit from an extensive selection of standards as well as intelligent functions for managing and finding proprietary, purchased and standard parts.

Optimized cooperation between MCAD and ECAD divisions
The electrical design situation is different from mechanical design, where not only, but above all, the geometries of the digital components are decisive. Electrical engineers need information about circuit diagram symbols, connections, component types (connector, cable, standard component, terminal, etc.) or parent-child relationships when selecting the appropriate component. The product models must also provide information on which connectors are compatible or how the installed components are to be correctly dimensioned in relation to each other. If this data is not stored within the CAD model, it must be compiled in a time-consuming process from various sources. Multi CAD capable product data based on CADENAS technology enables seamless collaboration between ECAD and MCAD, as component information can easily be transferred between mechanical and electrical design – without loss of information.

SOLIDWORKS Electrical 3D by Dassault Systèmes provides additional support for smooth electromechanical collaboration. With the software module, design data of circuit diagrams can be integrated bidirectionally into the 3D model of a machine or assembly. ECAD components such as wires, cables and harnesses can be easily positioned and automatically routed in the 3D MCAD model. Design and bill of materials are also synchronized in real time, minimizing sources of error.

The software indicates which connectors are compatible or how the installed components are to be correctly dimensioned in relation to each other. If this data is not stored within the CAD model, it must be compiled in a time-consuming process from various sources. Multi CAD capable product data based on CADENAS technology enables seamless collaboration between ECAD and MCAD, as component information can easily be transferred between mechanical and electrical design – without loss of information.

XVL on 3DEXPERIENCE is released after a three-year joint development project

By Leave a Comment

After a three-year joint development project between Dassault Systèmes and Lattice Technology Co. Ltd, working with Toyota Motor Corporation, native XVL on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for Japan is available now (worldwide release is planned for 2022). The inclusion of native XVL with the platform enables increased usability downstream of product design in areas such as production engineering and service.

“Users can instantly and directly access XVL data on 3DEXPERIENCE. The members of design and production engineering feel that they have reached a new level of 3D utilization. The timeliness achieved in this project is very important in terms of accumulating the reduction of one small operation and not disturbing designers’ thinking“, said Hiroshi Kawazoe, Director/Toyota Systems Corp.

The source for this press release was a live interview between Hiroshi Kawazoe, Director/Toyota Systems Corp., Stephane Declee, ENOVIA CEO/Dassault Systèmes and Hiroshi Toriya, CEO/Lattice Technology Co. Ltd.
Toyota Systems: Different Needs for Design, Production Engineering & Services

“In Toyota, CATIA is widely used in the design area, and XVL is widely used in the production engineering and service document areas. When these two solutions are closely linked on 3DEXPERIENCE, I think Toyota might have bigger benefit from them,” said Hiroshi Toriya, CEO/Lattice Technology Co., Ltd.

“We need both the technical role of creating content, and a simple mechanism that many people can use for taking advantage of the content,” said Hiroshi Kawazoe/Toyota.

“Toyota uses CATIA for the former and XVL for the latter. It has great meaning that the technical department creates detailed data and people in production site or factory, suppliers can use lightweight 3D and simple tools even from places where IT infrastructure is not sufficient”, said Kawazoe.

“Also, such a situation greatly expands the range of 3D utilization. In particular, Lattice, a purely Japanese-like company, has been very effective developing applications that meet the specific needs of the Toyota production process”, Kawazoe went on to say.
Dassault: Need for Agility & Resiliency

“Agility and resiliency will become even more important in the future. Many manufacturing companies are considering how they can change the way of work according to these goals. The way of work in design and production will surely change”, said Stephane Declee, ENOVIA CEO/Dassault Systèmes“. It is necessary to reform the way of working so that we can provide appropriate information to people and collaborate with each other wherever they are. This also leads to remote work and to work anywhere. This is true not only for Dassault and its customers, but also for partners. In addition, “Cloud” will become a keyword in new measures for the design and production fields”, said Declee/ENOVIA.

”Global collaboration is also very important for the themes we are working on with Toyota Motor Corporation. Not only online but also offline collaboration is essential. That means delivering correct information based on 3D data. With 3D, various members can have a common understanding intuitively and without misunderstandings. Such aspects of 3D data will become so important as to be called indispensable”, said Kawazoe/Toyota.
XVL & The 3DEXPERIENCE Platform

XVL is an important addition as a native format available on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform for purposes other than design because it is extremely lightweight (about 1/100th the CAD file size) and maintains CAD level accuracy.

XVL can also accommodate all major CAD formats in a single representation, meaning SOLIDWORKS® models, CATIA® models, and models from other CAD systems can be combined into a single model, that is accurate for performing work outside of the design department from manufacturing planning, to assembly simulation, creating work/service instructions, and any technical documentation that needs the 3D model.

The process is seamless. Users can download any model in XVL format, regardless of its origin.

“Now XVL and CATIA data exist in a 1-to-1 state on 3DEXPERIENCE. Non-CAD users can get their job done while sharing the correct 3D data globally, both online and offline.”, said Toriya/Lattice.

“As a result of this strong partnership and great efforts by all three companies, I believe that the best collaborative solution has been achieved. XVL can be managed as a native format on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, said Declee, ENOVIA

Dassault Systèmes and “The Inventor” launch the “3D Design Challenge” celebrating Leonardo da Vinci

By Leave a Comment

In celebration of Leonardo da Vinci’s ingenuity that has fascinated the world for centuries, Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE Lab has teamed up with “The Inventor” – a new animated film about Leonardo from Jim Capobianco, the Academy Award-nominated writer of the Pixar film “Ratatouille” – Foliascope and Château du Clos Lucé – Parc Leonardo da Vinci to launch a new “3D Design Challenge” to bring Leonardo’s drawings to life.

The challenge invites individuals to showcase their 3D skills by using Dassault Systèmes’ 3D digital applications – which have enabled the design and engineering of groundbreaking industrial innovations for 40 years – to digitally reconstruct an invention from Leonardo’s codices.

Five winners will be selected based on how closely the 3D model resembles the original drawing, how well the model articulates the movements intended by Leonardo in the corresponding sketch, and how easily the model could be 3D printed.  Each winner will receive a 3D-printed version of their model, and gain access to Dassault Systèmes’ xDesign application for one year.

The winning designs will also be featured in the upcoming “The Inventor” stop-motion animated film that follows the incredible journey of Leonardo in a humorous and inventive story for the whole family, voiced by Stephen Fry as Leonardo, Daisy Ridley as Princess Marguerite de Navarre, and Marion Cotillard as Louise de Savoy.

The 3D Design Challenge is being run fully online from February 12-April 15, 2021 in the Open Codex Community.  Since 2012, this community has been bringing together designers, engineers, makers, hobbyists, students, teachers and others to draw inspiration from the past and use the virtual world to link imagination with innovation through international challenges focused on recreating Leonardo’s inventions in 3D.

Participants in the 3D Design Challenge must choose one of the 10 codices listed in the community and use CATIA, SOLIDWORKS or xDesign applications to accurately create a 3D working model of the drawing in real-life dimensions, then submit their entry by posting an explanation of how the final design works and uploading the 3D model in the online community.  These applications, powered by Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform, enable users to digitally create, test and optimize the structure, mechanics and system.

In line with the 3DEXPERIENCE Lab’s collective intelligence and cross-collaborative approach to strengthen society’s future of creation, participants are encouraged to interact with other designers, participants and fans of Leonardo in the community throughout the challenge.
