Abstract
A numerical simulation software package developed to help blow molders improve their processes and product designs is once again proving its mettle with emerging technologies. Designed by researchers from the National Research Council (NRC) Canada in partnership with manufacturers, BlowView uses a 2.5D finite element approach that enables users to create and optimize product designs by identifying flaws before they are put into production. Amid demand for fuel-efficient vehicles, including electric vehicles, the software is helping manufacturers to optimize convoluted tubular ducts and pipes used in vehicles, as well as new-generation plastic fuel and hydrogen tanks. Its latest innovations include features relevant to suction blow molding (SuBM) and blow molding of hydrogen tank liners, helping the plastics industry meet its stringent global targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
